13 If a man marries a woman, sleeps with her, and then turns on her, 14 calling her a slut, giving her a bad name, saying, "I married this woman, but when I slept with her I discovered she wasn't a virgin," 15 then the father and mother of the girl are to take her with the proof of her virginity to the town leaders at the gate. 16 The father is to tell the leaders, "I gave my daughter to this man as wife and he turned on her, rejecting her. 17 And now he has slanderously accused her, claiming that she wasn't a virgin. But look at this, here is the proof of my daughter's virginity." And then he is to spread out her blood-stained wedding garment before the leaders for their examination. 18 The town leaders then are to take the husband, whip him, 19 fine him a hundred pieces of silver, and give it to the father of the girl. The man gave a virgin girl of Israel a bad name. He has to keep her as his wife and can never divorce her.

These and the like regulations might be needful then, and yet it is not necessary that we should curiously examine respecting them. The laws relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint upon fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
