Deuteronomy 22:28-30
GOD’S WORD Translation
28 This is what you must do when a man rapes a virgin who isn’t engaged. When the crime is discovered, 29 the man who had sexual intercourse with her must give the girl’s father 1¼ pounds of silver, and she will become his wife. Since he raped her, he can never divorce her as long as he lives.[a]
30 A man must never marry his father’s wife because this would disgrace his father.
