There are 2 of them
Quote:Deuteronomy 22:25 KING JAMES VERSION
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: {22:26} But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: {22:27} For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
^^^^^If a guy rapes a married woman, kill the guy. Don't kill the woman since it is not her fault. The woman cried for help but there was no one around to help her.
Quote:Deuteronomy 22:28 KING JAMES VERSION
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; {22:29} Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
^^^^^If a man finds an unmarried woman and rapes her, he has to pay 50 shekels of silver to the father of the woman and he has to marry her. He can't divorce her.
I wonder what kind of a happy family this would make.
