    15Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:

    16And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;

    17And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town.

    18Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment;

    19They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.

    20But if what he has said is true, and she is seen to be not a virgin,

    21Then they are to make the girl come to the door of her father's house and she will be stoned to death by the men of the town, because she has done evil and put shame on Israel, by acting as a loose woman in her father's house: so you are to put away evil from among you.

    25But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;

    26Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:

    27For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.

    28If a man sees a young virgin, who has not given her word to be married to anyone, and he takes her by force and has connection with her, and discovery is made of it;
