"And the father shall say: ‘I gave my daughter to this man as a wife. And because he hates her, "
— Deuteronomy 22:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;”
“and the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; ”
“and the young lady's father shall tell the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;”
“The young woman’s father must say to the elders,“I gave my daughter to this man and he has rejected her.”
“And the father shall say: I gave my daughter unto this man to wife: and because he hateth her,”
“And let the girl's father say to the responsible men, I gave my daughter to this man for his wife, but he has no love for her;”
“And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;”
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,
he accuses her with a very wicked name, by saying: “I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.” But behold, these are the signs of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread the clothing before the elders of the city.
And the elders of that city shall apprehend that man and beat him.
Moreover, they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, which he will give to the father of the girl, because he has committed slander, with a very wicked name, against a virgin of Israel. And he shall have her as a wife, and he cannot dismiss her throughout all the days of his life.
