Deuteronomy 22:13-19

13A 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.

16The girl’s father will tell the leaders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he doesn’t like her.

17Now he has made up charges against her. He says he found out that my daughter wasn’t a virgin. But here’s the evidence!” Then the girl’s parents must spread out the cloth in front of the leaders of the city.

18The leaders of that city must take the man and punish him.

19They will fine him 2¼ pounds of silver and give it to the girl’s father. The husband ruined the reputation of an Israelite virgin. She will continue to be his wife, and he can never divorce her as long as he lives.
