7 Likewise if a man [a]sell his daughter to be a servant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall [b]he cause to buy her: he shall have no power to sell her to a strange people, seeing he [c]despised her.
9 But if he hath betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her [d]according to the custom of the daughters.
