Deuteronomy 22:19-21
Lexham English Bible

19 Then they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver, and they shall give them to the father of the young woman, for he defamed an Israelite young woman,[a] and she shall become his wife;[b] he will not be allowed to divorce her[c] all his days.

20 “But if this charge[d] was true, and the signs of virginity were not found[e] for the young woman, 21 and then they shall bring out the young woman to the doorway of the house of her father, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die, because she did a disgraceful thing in Israel by playing the harlot[f] in the house of her father, and so you shall purge the evil from your midst.
