Deuteronomy 22:13

13¶ If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,

Deuteronomy 22:14

14And 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:

Deuteronomy 22:15

15Then 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:

Deuteronomy 22:16

16And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;

Deuteronomy 22:17

17And, 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.

Deuteronomy 22:18

18And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;

Deuteronomy 22:19

19And 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.

Deuteronomy 22:20

20But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:

Deuteronomy 22:21

21Then 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.
