19They will fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, for the man who made the accusation ruined the reputation of an Israelite virgin. She will then become his wife and he may never divorce her as long as he lives.
20But if the accusation is true and the young woman was not a virgin,
21the men of her city must bring the young woman to the door of her father’s house and stone her to death, for she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by behaving like a prostitute while living in her father’s house. In this way you will purge evil from among you.

23If a virgin is engaged to a man and another man meets her in the city and goes to bed with her,
24you must bring the two of them to the gate of that city and stone them to death, the young woman because she did not cry out though in the city and the man because he violated his neighbor’s fiancée; in this way you will purge evil from among you.
25But if the man came across the engaged woman in the field and overpowered her and raped her, then only the rapist must die.
26You must not do anything to the young woman– she has done nothing deserving of death. This case is the same as when someone attacks another person and murders him,
27for the man met her in the field and the engaged woman cried out, but there was no one to rescue her.
