If a man takes a wife, and afterwards he has hatred for her,
and so he seeks opportunities to dismiss her, imputing a very wicked name to her by saying, ‘I received this woman as a wife, and upon entering to her, I found her not to be a virgin,’
then her father and mother shall take her, and they shall bring with them the signs of her virginity, to the elders of the city who are at the gate.
And the father shall say: ‘I gave my daughter to this man as a wife. And because he hates her,

And the elders of that city shall apprehend that man and beat him.
