In context

15Then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring the proof of her virginity to the city elders at the gate

16And say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he has come to hate her.

17And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.

18Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.

19They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
