Context of Deuteronomy 22:13

11“You shall not wear a fabric made of wool and linen blended together [a fabric pagans believed to be magical]. 12“You shall make tassels for yourself on the four corners of your outer garment with which you cover yourself. “If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then scorns and hates her, 14and charges her [without cause] with shameful behavior and publicly defames her, and says, ‘I took this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’ 15then the young woman’s father and her mother shall get and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city at the gate [where court is held].
