THE MESSAGE
But if it was out in the country that the man found the engaged girl and grabbed and raped her, only the man is to die, the man who raped her. Don't do anything to the girl; she did nothing wrong. This is similar to the case of a man who comes across his neighbor out in the country and murders him; when the engaged girl yelled out for help, there was no one around to hear or help her.

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
But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field,.... Alone, and where she might cry out, and none hear, nor were any to help her:
and a man force her, and lie with her; or "take fast and strong hold on her" b; so that she is not able to get out of his hands, and make her escape, he being stronger than she, and so commits a rape upon her:
then the man only that lay with her shall die; he being guilty of adultery, in lying with a woman espoused to another man, but not she, because she consented not to it.
b והחזיק בה "et apprehenderit (in) eam", Pagninus, Montanus; "et apprehendens eam", Piscator.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Deuteronomy 22:25. And the man force her — A rape also, by these ancient institutions, was punished with death, because a woman's honour was considered equally as precious as her life; therefore the same punishment was inflicted on the ravisher as upon the murderer. This offence is considered in the same point of view in the British laws, and by them also it is punished with death.
