Primary Verses:
-
Deuteronomy 22:13-19
-
"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."
