El matrimonio con prisioneras de guerra

10 Cuando salgas a la guerra contra tus enemigos, y el Señor tu Dios los entregue en tus manos y los hagas prisioneros, 11 si ves entre las cautivas alguna mujer hermosa que te atraiga, podrás tomarla por esposa. 12 La llevarás a tu casa y harás que se rape la cabeza, se corte las uñas 13 y se deshaga de su ropa de cautiva. Después de que haya vivido en tu casa y guardado luto por su padre y su madre durante todo un mes, podrás unirte a ella y serán marido y mujer. 14 Pero si no resulta de tu agrado, la dejarás ir adonde ella lo desee. No deberás venderla ni tratarla como esclava, puesto que la habrás deshonrado.
