Deuteronomy 22:19-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

19. and fine him one hundred silver shekels, which they shall give to the young woman’s father, because the man slandered a virgin in Israel. She shall remain his wife, and he may not divorce her as long as he lives.

20. But if this charge is true, and evidence of the young woman’s virginity is not found,

21. they shall bring the young woman to the entrance of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death, because she committed a shameful crime in Israel by prostituting herself in her father’s house. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.

22. If a man is discovered lying with a woman who is married to another, they both shall die, the man who was lying with the woman as well as the woman. Thus shall you purge the evil from Israel.

23. If there is a young woman, a virgin who is betrothed, and a man comes upon her in the city and lies with her,

24. you shall bring them both out to the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the young woman because she did not cry out though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbor’s wife. Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.

25. But if it is in the open fields that a man comes upon the betrothed young woman, seizes her and lies with her, only the man who lay with her shall die.

26. You shall do nothing to the young woman, since the young woman is not guilty of a capital offense. As when a man rises up against his neighbor and murders him, so in this case:

27. it was in the open fields that he came upon her, and though the betrothed young woman may have cried out, there was no one to save her.

28. If a man comes upon a young woman, a virgin who is not betrothed, seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,

29. the man who lay with her shall give the young woman’s father fifty silver shekels and she will be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her as long as he lives.
