Context of Deuteronomy 22:13
11Never wear clothes made of wool and linen woven together. 12Make tassels on the four corners of the shawl you wear over your clothes. A man might marry a woman, sleep with her, and decide he doesn’t like her. 14Then he might make up charges against her and ruin her reputation by saying, “I married this woman. But when I slept with her, I found out she wasn’t a virgin.” 15The girl’s father and mother must go to the city gate where the leaders of the city are and submit the evidence that their daughter was a virgin.
