    13If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her,

    14and accuses her of shameful things, and brings up an evil name on her, and says, "I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn't find in her the tokens of virginity;"

    15then shall the father of the young lady, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the young lady's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate;

    16and the young lady's father shall tell the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;

    17and behold, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, 'I didn't find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;' and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity." They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

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

    19and they shall fine him one hundred [shekels] of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

    20But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young lady;

    21then they shall bring out the young lady to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father's house: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

    25But if the man find the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only who lay with her shall die:

    26but to the lady you shall do nothing; there is in the lady no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter;

    27for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was none to save her.

    28If a man find a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
