Thematic Bible: Defamation of, punished

If any man takes a wife, and having had connection with her, has no delight in her, And says evil things about her and gives her a bad name, saying, I took this woman, and when I had connection with her it was clear to me that she was not a virgin: Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin: read more.
And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her; And now he has put shame on her, saying that she is not a virgin; but here is the sign that she is a virgin. Then they are to put her clothing before the responsible men of the town. Then the responsible men of the town are to give the man his punishment; They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.
