19 and they shall fine him a hundred shekels[a] of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin[b] of Israel. And she shall be his wife. (A)He may not divorce her all his days. 20 But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, 21 then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and (B)the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has (C)done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father's house. (D)So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
