Deuteronomy 22:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 it was in the open fields that he came upon her, and though the betrothed young woman may have cried out, there was no one to save her.
28 (A)If a man comes upon a young woman, a virgin who is not betrothed, seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered, 29 the man who lay with her shall give the young woman’s father fifty silver shekels and she will be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her as long as he lives.
