Deuteronomy 22:15-17

New English Translation

¹⁵ Then the father and mother of the young woman must produce the evidence of virginity^[a] for the elders of the city at the gate. ¹⁶ The young woman’s father must say to the elders, “I gave my daughter to this man and he has rejected^[b] her. ¹⁷ Moreover, he has raised accusations of impropriety by saying, ‘I discovered your daughter was not a virgin,’ but this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity!” The cloth must then be spread out^[c] before the city’s elders.
