Deuteronomy:22:13-21
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
If any man takes a wife ,
and goes in to her ,
and detests her ,
*
and charges her with shameful conduct ,
and brings a bad name on her ,
and says , "
I took this woman ,
and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin ,'
*
then the father and mother of the young woman shall take and bring out the evidence of the young woman '
s virginity to the elders of the city at the gate .
*
And the young woman '
s father shall say to the elders , "
I gave my daughter to this man as wife ,
and he detests her .
*
Now he has charged her with shameful conduct ,
saying , "
I found your daughter was not a virgin ,"
and yet these are the evidences of my daughter '
s virginity .'
And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city .
*
Then the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him ;
*
and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman ,
because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel .
And she shall be his wife ;
he cannot divorce her all his days .
* "
But if the thing is true ,
and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman ,
*
then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father '
s house ,
and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones ,
because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel ,
to play the harlot in her father '
s house .
So you shall put away the evil from among you .
