Context of Deuteronomy 22:28
26and unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing: there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death; for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and murdereth him, so is this matter; 27for he found her in the field, the betrothed damsel cried, and there was no one to save her. If a man find a damsel, a virgin, who is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found, 29then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he hath humbled her; he may not put her away all his days. 30A man shall not take his father's wife, nor uncover his father's skirt.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-3013-30. If a man take a wife, &c.--The regulations that follow might be imperatively needful in the then situation of the Israelites; and yet, it is not necessary that we should curiously and impertinently inquire into them.
