'Virgin' in the Bible

invents charges against her, and defames her by saying, "I have married this woman, but when I had sexual relations with her I found that she wasn't a virgin.'

Then let the girl's father and mother put before the responsible men of the town, in the public place, signs that the girl was a virgin:

Now look, he has invented charges against her by saying, "I haven't found your daughter to be a virgin." But here is the proof of my daughter's virginity.' Then they are to spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

“But if this charge is true, that the girl was not found a virgin,

If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

Then you are to take the two of them to the doorway of the town, and have them stoned to death; the young virgin, because she gave no cry for help, though it was in the town, and the man, because he has put shame on his neighbour's wife: so you are to put away evil from among you.

But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;

Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:

For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.

If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
