Translations:Does Deuteronomy 22:25-29 imply that the rape of an unbetrothed girl is not a death penalty offense?/5/en
From Theonomy Wiki
Biblical case laws are often written with the intent of distinguishing legally-relevant differences between cases. Sometimes, though, the cases are "entangled" in a way that defies a superficial reading. For example, if you do not understand that Deut. 22:13-21 is dealing with two separate legal cases (slander and lying about one's state of virginity), then you might (mistakenly) conclude that the girl involved is considered guilty until she proves herself innocent (See Is the premarital unchastity case of Deut. 22:13 an example of the justice system assuming guilt until a defendant proves her innocence?)
