Deuteronomy 22:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ Then the young woman’s parents must bring proof that she was a virgin. They must give the proof to the elders at the gate of the town. ¹⁶ Her father will speak to the elders. He’ll say, “I gave my daughter to this man to be his wife. But he doesn’t like her. ¹⁷ So now he has told lies about her. He has said, ‘I discovered that your daughter wasn’t a virgin.’ But here’s the proof that my daughter was a virgin.” Then her parents will show the elders of the town the cloth that has her blood on it.
