Translations:Does Deuteronomy 22:25-29 imply that the rape of an unbetrothed girl is not a death penalty offense?/6/en
From Theonomy Wiki
In this section of the law, the cases are intended to establish that a woman's claim that she "cried out" in a field or other unpopulated area is sufficient to protect her from accusations of adultery (which is the only reason why the word "betrothed" is there in the case). The rapist must be put to death, but the girl has done "nothing worthy of death" (v. 26).
