Deuteronomy 21:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, [a]and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails,
13 And she shall put off the garment that she was taken in, and she shall remain in thine house, [b]and bewail her father and her mother a month long: and after that shalt thou go in unto her, and marry her, and she shall be thy [c]wife.
14 And if thou have no favor unto her, then thou mayest let her go whither she will, but thou shalt not sell her for money, nor make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
