Deuteronomy 21:10-13

International Standard Version

Marriage to a War Captive

¹⁰ “If you go to battle against your enemies, and the Lord your God delivers them into your control, you may take some prisoners captive. ¹¹ If you see among the prisoners a beautiful woman and you desire her, then you may take her as your wife. ¹² Bring her to your house, but shave her head and trim her nails. ¹³ Remove her prisoner’s clothing and let her remain for a month in your house, mourning her parents. After that, you may^[a] become her husband and she is to become your wife.
