Bible Verses About Character

"If a man marries a woman, has sexual relations with her and then, having come to dislike her,

brings false charges against her and defames her character by saying, 'I married this woman, but when I had intercourse with her I did not find evidence that she was a virgin';

then the girl's father and mother are to take the evidence of the girl's virginity to the leaders of the town at the gate.

The girl's father will say to the leaders, 'I let my daughter marry this man, but he hates her,

so he has brought false charges that he didn't find evidence of her virginity; yet here is the evidence of my daughter's virginity'-(

)and they will lay the cloth before the town leaders.

The leaders of that town are to take the man, punish him, and fine him two-and-a-half pounds of silver shekels, which they will give to the girl's father, because he has publicly defamed a virgin of Isra'el. She will remain his wife, and he is forbidden from divorcing her as long as he lives.
