Contextual Overview

¹³ If a man marries a girl and has sexual relations with her but then decides he does not like her, ¹⁴ he might talk badly about her and give her a bad name. He might say, "I married this woman, but when I had sexual relations with her, I did not find that she was a virgin." ¹⁵ Then the girl's parents must bring proof that she was a virgin to the elders at the city gate. ¹⁶ The girl's father will say to the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife, but now he does not want her. ¹⁷ This man has told lies about my daughter. He has said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin,' but here is the proof that my daughter was a virgin." Then her parents are to show the sheet to the elders of the city, ¹⁸ and the elders must take the man and punish him. ¹⁹ They must make him pay about two and one-half pounds of silver to the girl's father, because the man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. The girl will continue to be the man's wife, and he may not divorce her as long as he lives. ²⁰ But if the things the husband said about his wife are true, and there is no proof that she was a virgin, ²¹ the girl must be brought to the door of her father's house. Then the men of the town must put her to death by throwing stones at her. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by having sexual relations before she was married. You must get rid of the evil among you. ²² If a man is found having sexual relations with another man's wife, both the woman and the man who had sexual relations with her must die. Get rid of this evil from Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But if this thing be true,.... Which the husband of the damsel laid to her charge, that she was no virgin when married to him, and she had committed whoredom, of which there was plain proof:

and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel; by her parents, or those who had the care of her; or no sufficient reason could be assigned for the want of them, through any family defect, or any disorder of her own; which, as Maimonides z says, the judges were to inquire into.
