Deuteronomy 22:15
NASB
Deut 22:15
&
then the girl's father and her mother shall take and bring out the {evidence} of the girl's virginity to the elders of the city at the gate.
Deut 22:16
&
~"The girl's father shall say to the elders, `I gave my daughter to this man for a wife, but he turned against her;
Deut 22:17
&
and behold, he has charged her with shameful deeds, saying, "I did not find your daughter a virgin." But this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity.' And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
Deut 22:18
&
~"So the elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him,
Deut 22:19
&
and they shall fine him a hundred {shekels} of silver and give it to the girl's father, because he publicly defamed a virgin of Israel. And she shall remain his wife; he cannot divorce her all his days.
Deut 22:20
&
"But if this charge is true, that the girl was not found a virgin,
Deut 22:21
&
then they shall bring out the girl to the doorway of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death because she has committed an act of folly in Israel by playing the harlot in her father's house; thus you shall purge the evil from among you.
