betrothed
«I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter, the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.»
«And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.»
«But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: / For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.»
«If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; / Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.»
«If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.»
«And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.»
«But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.»
«If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; / Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.»
