God’s Word Translation
Deuteronomy 22:23-29
23This is what you must do when a man has sexual intercourse with a virgin who is engaged to another man. If this happens in a city,
24take them to the gate of the city and stone them to death. The girl must die because she was in a city and didn’t scream for help. The man must die because he had sex with another man’s wife. You must get rid of this evil.
25But if a man rapes an engaged girl out in the country, then only the man must die.
26Don’t do anything to the girl. She has not committed a sin for which she deserves to die. This is like the case of someone who attacks and murders another person.
27The man found the girl out in the country. She may have screamed for help, but no one was there to rescue her.
28This is what you must do when a man rapes a virgin who isn’t engaged. When the crime is discovered,
29the man who had sexual intercourse with her must give the girl’s father 1¼ pounds of silver, and she will become his wife. Since he raped her, he can never divorce her as long as he lives.
