Deuteronomy 22:16-21
New American Standard Bible
16 And the girl’s father shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as a wife, but he [a]turned against her; 17 and behold, he has charged her with shameful behavior, saying, “I did not find your daughter to have evidence of virginity.” But [b]this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city. 18 Then (A)the elders of that city shall take the man and rebuke him, 19 and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give it to the girl’s father, because he [c]publicly defamed a virgin of Israel. And she shall remain his wife; he is not allowed to [d]divorce her all his days.
20 “But if this [e](B)charge is true, and they did not find the girl to have evidence of virginity, 21 then they shall bring the girl out to the doorway of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her [f]to death, because she has (C)committed a disgraceful sin in Israel by playing the prostitute in her father’s house; so (D)you shall eliminate the evil from among you.
