Deuteronomy 22:25-29

Deuteronomy 22:25-29 NCV

But if a man meets an engaged girl out in the country and forces her to have sexual relations with him, only the man who had sexual relations with her must be put to death. Don’t do anything to the girl, because she has not done a sin worthy of death. This is like the person who attacks and murders a neighbor; the man found the engaged girl in the country and she screamed, but no one was there to save her. If a man meets a virgin who is not engaged to be married and forces her to have sexual relations with him and people find out about it, the man must pay the girl’s father about one and one-fourth pounds of silver. He must also marry the girl, because he has dishonored her, and he may never divorce her for as long as he lives.
