13 “If a man takes a woman and ⌊he has sex with her⌋,t but he then ⌊dislikes her⌋,u 14 and ⌊he accuses her falsely⌋,v and ⌊he defames her⌋,w and he says ‘This woman I took and I lay with her and ⌊I discovered that she was not a virgin⌋,’x 15 then in defense the father of the young woman shall take, along with her mother, and together they must bring out the evidence of the virginity of the young woman to display it to the elders of the city ⌊at the city gate⌋.y 16 And then the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as wife, but he now ⌊dislikes⌋z her, 17 and now look ⌊he has accused her falsely⌋,a saying, “I did not find ⌊your daughter a virgin⌋,”b but here is evidence of the virginity of my daughter’; and they shall spread the cloth out ⌊before⌋c the elders of the city. 18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man, and they shall discipline him. 19 Then they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and they shall give them to the father of the young woman, for ⌊he defamed an Israelite young woman⌋,d and ⌊she shall become his wife⌋;e he will not be allowed ⌊to divorce her⌋f all his days.

20 “But if ⌊this charge⌋g was true, ⌊and the signs of virginity were not found⌋h for the young woman, 21 and then they shall bring out the young woman to the doorway of the house of her father, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die, because she did a disgraceful thing in Israel ⌊by playing the harlot⌋i in the house of her father, and so you shall purge the evil from your midst.
