Deuteronomy 22:28-30
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
28 If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not betrothed, and he seizes her and lies with her and they are found,
29 Then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her; he may not divorce her all his days.
30 A man shall not take his father’s former wife, nor shall he uncover her who belongs to his father.
