16. The girl’s father must say to the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he has rejected her.
17. What is more, he has accused her of impropriety, saying, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ However, this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.” And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.
18. The elders of that city must take that man and punish him,
19. and they must fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the girl, because he has publicly humiliated a virgin of Israel. Then she is to remain his wife. He may not divorce her all his days.
20. But if the accusation is true, and the evidence of virginity does not exist for the girl,
21. then they shall bring the girl out to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones until she dies, because she has brought disgrace into Israel, to act like a whore in her father’s house. In this way you may purge the evil from among you.
22. If a man is discovered lying with a married woman, then both of them must die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. In this way you may purge the evil from Israel.
23. If a girl who is a virgin is engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and has sexual relations with her,
24. then you must bring them both out to the gate of that city and you must stone them with stones until they die, the girl because she did not cry out even though in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. In this way you may purge the evil from among you.
25. But if a man finds an engaged girl in the field, and the man forces her and rapes her, then only the man that raped her shall die.
26. However, you are to do nothing to the girl. There is no sin worthy of death in the girl, for just as when a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, so is this matter.
27. For he found her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her.
