Deuteronomy 22:13-19

13“Suppose a man takes a wife and goes t0 her and then dislikes her,

14accuses her of shameful things and gives her a bad reputation by saying, ‘I took this woman, but when I came near her, I didn’t find her virginity.’

15Then the father of the young woman is to take her and her mother is to bring out the signs of the young woman’s virginity to the city elders at the gate.

16The young lady’s father is to tell the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as a wife, but he hates her.

17Indeed, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, “I didn’t find your daughter’s virginity.” Yet these are the signs of my daughter’s virginity.’ They are to spread the wedding cloth before the elders of the city.

18The elders of that city are to take the man and punish him.

19Then they are to fine him 100 pieces of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought an evil name on a virgin of Israel. Then she is to be his wife—he may not send her away all his days.
