13 Rules for Sexual Relationships. If a man takes a woman and has sex with her, but then he grows to hate her 14 and he charges her with shameful deeds and publicly defames her name saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her I discovered that she was not a virgin,” 15 have the father and mother of the young woman give proof of the young woman’s virginity to the elders at the town gate.[a] 16 The young woman’s father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, and he has grown to hate her. 17 Now he has slandered her saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ Here is proof of my daughter’s virginity.” They will then spread the cloth out before the elders. 18 The elders will take the man and punish him. 19 They will fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman because this man defamed the name of one of the virgins of Israel. She will continue to be his wife, and he cannot divorce her as long as he lives.

13 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her,
14 And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
15 Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
16 And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
17 And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18 And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him;
19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

Marriage Violations
13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her(A), dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate(B) proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders(C) shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[a] of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.

Leyes sobre la moralidad
13 Si un hombre toma a una mujer y se llega a ella, y después la aborrece(A), 14 y la acusa de actos vergonzosos y la difama públicamente[a], diciendo: «Tomé a esta mujer, pero al llegarme a ella no la encontré virgen», 15 entonces el padre y la madre de la joven tomarán las pruebas de la virginidad de la joven y las llevarán[b] a los ancianos de la ciudad, a la puerta. 16 Y el padre de la joven dirá a los ancianos: «Di mi hija por mujer a este hombre, pero él la aborreció; 17 y he aquí, él le atribuye actos vergonzosos, diciendo: “No encontré virgen a tu hija”. Pero esta es[c] la prueba de la virginidad de mi hija». Y extenderán la ropa delante de los ancianos de la ciudad. 18 Y los ancianos de la ciudad(B) tomarán al hombre y lo castigarán, 19 y le pondrán una multa de cien siclos[d] de plata, que darán al padre de la joven, porque difamó públicamente a[e] una virgen de Israel. Y ella seguirá siendo su mujer; no podrá despedirla en todos sus días.
