13 Purity in the Marriage Relationship Suppose a man marries a woman, sleeps with her, and then rejects her,
14 accusing her of impropriety and defaming her reputation by saying,“I married this woman but when I approached her for marital relations I discovered she was not a virgin!”
15 Then the father and mother of the young woman must produce the evidence of virginity for the elders of the city at the gate.
16 The young woman’s father must say to the elders,“I gave my daughter to this man and he has rejected her.
17 Moreover, he has raised accusations of impropriety by saying,‘I discovered your daughter was not a virgin,’ but this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity!” The cloth must then be spread out before the city’s elders.
18 The elders of that city must then seize the man and punish him.
19 They 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.

23 If a virgin is engaged to a man and another man meets her in the city and goes to bed with her,
24 you 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.
25 But if the man came across the engaged woman in the field and overpowered her and raped her, then only the rapist must die.
26 You 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,
27 for the man met her in the field and the engaged woman cried out, but there was no one to rescue her.
28 Suppose a man comes across a virgin who is not engaged and takes hold of her and sleeps with her and they are discovered.
29 The man who has slept with her must pay her father fifty shekels of silver and she must become his wife. Because he has humiliated her, he may never divorce her as long as he lives.
