Deuteronomy 22:19-29

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.

20“But if this thing is true—that the signs of virginity were not found in the young lady—

21then they are to bring the young woman out to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city are to stone her with stones to death, because she has done a disgraceful thing in Israel, to behave like a prostitute in her father’s house. So you are to purge the evil from your midst.

22“Suppose a man is found lying with a married woman. Then both of them are to die—the man who lay with the woman and the woman. So you are to purge the evil from Israel.

23“Suppose there is a young woman who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her.

24Then you are to bring them both out to the gate of that city and stone them with stones to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the town, and the man because he humiliated his neighbor’s wife. So you are to purge the evil from your midst.

25“But if the man finds the engaged woman in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her is to die.

26But to the young woman you are to do nothing—there is no sin in the young woman deserving of death. For this matter is the same as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him—

27for he found her in the field, the engaged woman cried out, and there was no one to save her.

28“Suppose a man finds a young virgin who is not engaged, grabs her and lies with her, and they are discovered.

29Then the man who lay with her is to give to the young woman’s father 50 pieces of silver, and she is to be his wife, since he has humiliated her—he may not send her away all his days.
