Laws on Morality

Deu 22:13'When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and hated her,
Deu 22:14and laid against her actions of words, and brought out against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken, and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in her tokens of virginity:
Deu 22:15'Then hath the father of the damsel -- and her mother -- taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel unto the elders of the city in the gate,
Deu 22:16and the father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate her;
Deu 22:17and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity -- and these are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out the garment before the elders of the city.
Deu 22:18'And the elders of that city have taken the man, and chastise him,
Deu 22:19and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send her away all his days.
Deu 22:20'And if this thing hath been truth -- tokens of virginity have not been found for the damsel --
Deu 22:21then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father's house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring in her father's house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
Deu 22:22'When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of Israel.
Deu 22:23'When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man hath found her in a city, and lain with her;
Deu 22:24then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: -- the damsel, because that she hath not cried, being in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour's wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
Deu 22:25'And if in a field the man find the damsel who is betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died alone;
Deu 22:26and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour and hath murdered him -- the life, so is this thing;
Deu 22:27for in a field he found her, she hath cried -- the damsel who is betrothed -- and she hath no saviour.
Deu 22:28'When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,
Deu 22:29then hath the man who is lying with her given to the father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send her away all his days.
