Domestic Relations

¹⁰ “When you go out to battle against your enemies, and ^(A)the Lord your God hands them over to you and you take them away captive, ¹¹ and you see among the captives a beautiful woman, and are strongly attracted to her and would take her as a wife for yourself, ¹² then you shall bring her into your home, and she shall ^(B)shave her head and ^[a]trim her nails. ¹³ She shall also ^[b]remove the clothes of her captivity and shall remain in your house, and ^(C)weep for her father and mother a full month; and after that you may have relations with her and become her husband and she shall be your wife. ¹⁴ But it shall be, if you are not pleased with her, then you shall let her go ^[c]wherever she wishes; and you certainly shall not sell her for money, you shall not treat her as merchandise, since you have ^[d](D)humiliated her.
