Contextual Overview

13 When a man taketh a wife, - and goeth in unto her and hateth her; 14 and raiseth against her occasions of speech, and bringeth upon her an evil name, and saith - This woman, I took, and approached her, and found not that she had the tokens of virginity, 15 then shall the father of the damsel and her mother take and bring forth the tokens of the virginity of the damsel, unto the elders of the city, in the gate; 16 and the father of the damsel shall say unto the elders, - My daughter, gave I unto this man to wife and he hated her; 17 and lo! he, hath raised occasions of speech, saying - I found not that thy daughter had the tokens of virginity and yet, these, are the tokens of the virginity of my daughter. And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city. 18 Then shall the elders of that city take the man, and chastise him; 19 and fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought an evil name upon a virgin of Israel, and she shall remain his wife, he may not put her away, all his days. 20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found with the damsel, 21 then shall they bring forth the damsel into the entrance of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die, because she hath wrought wickedness in Israel, by committing unchastity in her father's house, - so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst. 22 When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then shall, both, of them die, the man that lay with the woman, and the woman, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, .] For the abuse of his daughter and besides this was obliged to give her her dowry also, as Philo d says, which is commonly said to be fifty more:

and she shall be his wife; if her father and she agreed to it; and in such a case the man was not at his liberty to refuse, be she what she would, agreeable or not, handsome or ugly; he must, as the Jews express it, drink out of his pot, or marry her, if she is lame, or blind, or full of ulcers e:

because he hath humbled her he may not put her away all his days: to all the other parts of his punishment, paying a fine of fifty shekels to the damsel's father, a dowry of the same sum to her, obligation to marry her whether he likes her or not, this is added, that he is not allowed to divorce her as long as he lives; which was permitted to other men, and this was wisely ordered to preserve chastity.
