Deuteronomy 22:27-29
Modern English Version
27 For he found her in the field, the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her.
28 If a man finds a girl who is a virgin who is not engaged and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered, 29 then the man who lay with her must give fifty shekels[a] of silver to the girl’s father, and she shall be his wife because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.
