Exodus 21:7-11

7“Now 1if a man sells his daughter as a female slave, she is not to 2go free 3as the male slaves 4do. 8If she is 5displeasing in the eyes of her master 6who designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He does not have authority to sell her to a foreign people, because of his 7unfairness to her. 9And if he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her according to the custom of daughters. 10If he takes to himself another woman, he may not reduce her 8food, her clothing, or 9her conjugal rights. 11But if he will not do these three things for her, then she shall go 10free for nothing, without payment of money.
