'Virginity' in the Bible
then the young woman’s father and her mother shall get and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city at the gate [where court is held].
and behold, he has made baseless charges against her, saying, “I did not find in your daughter the evidence of her virginity.” But this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city.
“But if this charge is true that the evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman,
And she said to her father, “Let this one thing be done for me; let me alone for two months, so that I may go to the mountains and weep over my virginity, I and my companions.”
And he said, “Go.” So he sent her away for two months; and she left with her companions, and wept over her virginity on the mountains.
