Deuteronomy 22:13-19
13Perhaps a man will marry a woman, and he has sex with her. Later he decides he no longer wants her to be his wife.
14He may then tell lies against her to say that she is bad. He may say, ‘I married this woman, and I had sex with her. Then I discovered that she had already had sex before I married her.’
15If that happens, the woman's parents must bring the cloth that she slept on with her husband. They must take it to the leaders of the town to show them.
16The woman's father must say to the leaders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But now he does not like her.
17He accuses her that she is bad. He says, “I discovered that your daughter had sex before I married her.” But look at her cloth. This shows that she had never had sex before.’ Then her parents must hold the cloth in front of the leaders of the town.
18The leaders must then take hold of the man. They must punish him.
19They must make the man pay 100 pieces of silver to the young woman's father. The man has told lies. He has accused a pure Israelite girl to say that she is bad. After that, she will continue to be his wife. He may never send her away as long as he lives.
