Holy Text Quote of the Day #16

"If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver*. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." -Deuteronomy 22:28-29

*That is, about 1 1/4 pounds (about 0.6 kilogram)
