Deuteronomy 22:24-27

The Voice

Expel the wicked from your community this way. ²⁵ But if this happens out in the country—if a man finds an engaged girl out there and overpowers and rapes her—then only the man must die. ^26-27 But don’t do anything to the girl; she did nothing wrong and doesn’t deserve to die. When this man came after her, she cried for help, but no one was there to respond. She’s as innocent as the victim of a sudden murderous attack—there was nothing she could do.
