Deuteronomy 22:28 in context

  1. 26but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter;
  2. 27for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.
  3. 28If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found,
  4. 29then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.
  5. 30A man shall not take his father’s wife, and shall not uncover his father’s skirt.
