Contextual Overview

¹³ If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her, ¹⁴ then sets shameful words to charge her, and brings up an evil name on her, and says, I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity. ¹⁵ Then the girl's father and her mother shall take and bring the girl's tokens of virginity to the elders of the city in the gate. ¹⁶ And the girl's father shall say to the elders, I have given my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hates her. ¹⁷ And, behold, he has laid shameful charges, saying, I have not found in your daughter the tokens of virginity. And yet see these tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city. ¹⁸ And the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him. ¹⁹ And they shall fine him a hundred pieces of silver, and give them to the girl's father, because he has brought an evil name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. ²⁰ But if this thing is true that tokens of virginity have not been found for the girl, ²¹ then they shall bring out the girl to the door of her father's house. And the men of her city shall stone her with stones, and she shall die; for she has done folly in Israel, to commit fornicationin her father's house. And you shall put awaythe evil from among you. ²² If a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman. And you shall put away the evil from Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders,.... Not her mother; hence we learn, says Jarchi, that a woman has not power (or is not allowed) to speak before men; that is, in public see 1 Corinthians 14:34 and it was most proper for a father to appear in court for her, and defend her; and if she had no parents living then, those that brought her up, her guardians, that had the education of her, and placing her out in marriage, were to undertake her cause; or, as Josephus r says, those that were next akin to her; or, as, Aben Ezra, one appointed by the court:

I gave my daughter unto this man to wife; and, by the Jewish canons s, a man might give his daughter in marriage, but a woman might not:

and he hateth her; has taken a dislike to her, and wants to be rid of her, and therefore has brought this infamous action against her.
