Captive Wives

10 When you go out for battle against your enemies and the Lord your God gives them into your hands, if you take some of them as captives, 11 and you see in that group of captives a beautiful woman, and you are attracted to her and would like to take her as your wife, 12 then you will bring her into your house. She is to shave her head and trim her nails. 13 She also is to remove the clothing she wore when she was captured and to stay in your house and weep for her father and her mother for a month. After that you may come to her and become her husband and she will become your wife.

14 Then if you are no longer pleased with her, you are to let her go as she desires. You must not sell her for money. You are not to deal with her as a slave,[a] because you have humiliated her.

10 “When you go out for battle against your enemies, and Yahweh your God gives them into your hand, and you lead the captives[a] away, 11 and you see among the captives[b] a woman beautiful in appearance, and you become attached to her and you want to take her as a wife, 12 then you shall bring her into your household, and she shall shave her head, and she shall trim her nails. 13 And she shall remove the clothing of her captivity from her, and she shall remain in your house, and she shall mourn her father and her mother a full month,[c] and after this you may have sex with her,[d] and you may marry her, and she may become your wife.[e] 14 And then if you do not take delight in her, then you shall let her go to do whatever she wants,[f] but you shall not treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored[g] her.
