Laws on Morality

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:13 - Suppose a man marries a woman, has sexual relations with her, and then rejects her,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:14 - accusing her of impropriety and defaming her reputation by saying, "I married this woman but when I had sexual relations with her I discovered she was not a virgin!"

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:17 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:18 - The elders of that city must then seize the man and punish him.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:19 - 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:21 - the 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.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:25 - But if the man came across the engaged woman in the field and overpowered her and raped her, then only the rapist must die.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:26 - 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,
