DEUTERONOMY 22:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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:”
You shall do nothing to the girl; she has committed no offense punishable by death, because this case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor — the rape in the countryside is categorized as violent assault (like attempted murder); the victim bears no guilt, and only the perpetrator faces execution.
