Exodus 21:7-11

7“If a man sells his daughter as a female servant, she will not go out as the male servants do.

8If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to a foreign nation, because he has dealt deceitfully with her.

9If he designated her for his son, then he will deal with her according to the customary rights of daughters.

10If he takes another wife, he must not diminish the first one’s food, her clothing, or her marital rights.

11If he does not provide her with these three things, then she will go out free, without paying money.
