Deuteronomy 22:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ The girl’s father will say to the leaders, “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 city leaders. ¹⁸ Then the leaders must take the man and punish him.
