Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders,.... Not her mother; hence we learn, says Jarchi, that a woman has not power (or is not allowed) to speak before men; that is, in public see 1 Corinthians 14:34 and it was most proper for a father to appear in court for her, and defend her; and if she had no parents living then, those that brought her up, her guardians, that had the education of her, and placing her out in marriage, were to undertake her cause; or, as Josephus r says, those that were next akin to her; or, as, Aben Ezra, one appointed by the court:
I gave my daughter unto this man to wife; and, by the Jewish canons s, a man might give his daughter in marriage, but a woman might not:
and he hateth her; has taken a dislike to her, and wants to be rid of her, and therefore has brought this infamous action against her.
r Antiqu. l. 4. c. 8. sect. 23. s Misn. Sotah, c. 3. sect. 8.
