Deuteronomy 22:25–30

25

But if the man finds the lady who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die;

26

but to the lady you shall do nothing. There is in the lady no sin worthy of death; for as when a man rises against his neighbor and kills him, even so is this matter;

27

for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married lady cried, and there was no one to save her.
