Deuteronomy 22:25-27
New American Standard Bible
25 “But if the man finds the girl who is betrothed in the field, and the man seizes her and [a]rapes her, then only the man who [b]raped her shall die. 26 And you are not to do anything to the girl; there is no sin in the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, [c]so is this case. 27 When he found her in the field, the betrothed girl [d]cried out, but there was no one to save her.

New International Version
25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27 for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed,(A) there was no one to rescue her.
