Marriage to a Female Captive

Deuteronomy 21:10-14

"When you go out to war against your enemies, and ADONAI your God hands them over to you, and you take prisoners,

and you see among the prisoners a woman who looks good to you, and you feel attracted to her and want her as your wife;

you are to bring her home to your house, where she will shave her head, cut her fingernails

and remove her prison clothing. She will stay there in your house, mourning her father and mother for a full month; after which you may go in to have sexual relations with her and be her husband, and she will be your wife.

In the event that you lose interest in her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes; but you may not sell her for money or treat her like a slave, because you humiliated her.
