Deuteronomy 21:10-14

Modern English Version

Marrying Female Captives

¹⁰ When you go forth to war against your enemies, and the Lord your God has delivered them into your hands, and you have taken them captive, ¹¹ and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and have a desire for her to have her as your wife, ¹² then you are to bring her home to your house, and she is to shave her head and trim her nails. ¹³ She must also discard the clothing of her captivity and shall remain in your house, and mourn her father and her mother for a full month. After that you may have relations with her, and be her husband, and she will be your wife. ¹⁴ It will be, if you are not pleased with her, then you must let her go wherever she pleases, but you may not sell her at all for money, nor are you to make merchandise of her, because you have humbled her.
