New Living Translation
Deuteronomy 22:13-19
13“Suppose a man marries a woman, but after sleeping with her, he turns against her
14and publicly accuses her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘When I married this woman, I discovered she was not a virgin.’
15Then the woman’s father and mother must bring the proof of her virginity to the elders as they hold court at the town gate.
16Her father must say to them, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, and now he has turned against her.
17He has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, “I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.” But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.’ Then they must spread her bed sheet before the elders.
18The elders must then take the man and punish him.
19They must also fine him 100 pieces of silver, which he must pay to the woman’s father because he publicly accused a virgin of Israel of shameful conduct. The woman will then remain the man’s wife, and he may never divorce her.
