Primary Verses:
-
Deuteronomy 22:13-22
-
"If any man take a wife,
and go in unto her, and hate her, And give occasions of
speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her,
and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I
found her not a maid: Then shall the father of the
damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens
of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in
the gate: And the damsel's father shall say unto the
elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he
hateth her; And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech
against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid;
and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity.
And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the
city. And the
elders of that city shall take that man and chastise
him; And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of
silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel,
because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of
Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her
away all his days. But if this thing be
true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the
damsel: Then they
shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's
house, and the men of her city shall stone her with
stones that she die: because she hath
wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her
father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among
you."
