17 he accuses her with a very wicked name, by saying: 'I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.' But behold, these are the signs of my daughter's virginity.' And they shall spread the clothing before the elders of the city.
18 And the elders of that city shall apprehend that man and beat him.
19 Moreover, they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, which he will give to the father of the girl, because he has committed slander, with a very wicked name, against a virgin of Israel. And he shall have her as a wife, and he cannot dismiss her throughout all the days of his life.
20 But if what he has claimed is true and virginity is not found in the girl,
21 then they shall throw her down, outside the doors of her father's house, and the men of that city shall stone her to death, and she shall die. For she has acted wickedly in Israel, in that she fornicated in her father's house. And so shall you take away the evil from your midst.
