¹⁸ Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip^[a] him, ¹⁹ and they shall fine him a hundred shekels^[b] of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin^[c] of Israel. And she shall be his wife. ^(A)He may not divorce her all his days.

³⁰ If ^(A)a ransom is imposed on him, then ^(B)he shall give for the redemption of his life whatever is imposed on him.
