13 If any man take a wife, and go in to her, and hate her,
14 and lay shameful things to her charge, and bring up an evil name on her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I didn`t find in her the tokens of virginity;
15 then shall the father of the young lady, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the young lady`s virginity to the elders of the city in the gate;
16 and the young lady`s father shall tell the elders, I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;
17 and, behold, he has laid shameful things [to her charge], saying, I didn`t find in your daughter the tokens of virginity; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter`s virginity. They shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
18 The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;
19 and they shall fine him one hundred [shekels] of silver, and give them to the father of the young lady, because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
