Marriage Violations

Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate and say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her. And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him. Exo 18:21 They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver 3and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives. Deu 22:29Mat 19:8-9Deu 24:1-4
If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you. 4 Deu 13:5Gen 34:7Jdg 20:62Sa 13:12-13Deu 17:7Deu 19:19Deu 21:21Jdg 20:10

If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her, Mat 1:18-19Deu 20:7 you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death—the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. So you must purge the evil from among you. 1Co 5:13Deu 21:14Deu 22:21-221Co 5:2Deu 13:5Gen 29:21Mat 1:20Mat 1:24
But if the man encounters a betrothed woman in the open country, and he overpowers her and lies with her, only the man who has done this must die. 2Sa 13:14 Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death.
