29 Then the man H376 that lay H7901 with her shall give H5414 unto the damsel's H5291 father H1 fifty H2572 shekels of silver, H3701 and she shall be his wife; H802 because he hath humbled H6031 her, he may H3201 not put her away H7971 all his days. H3117
And it shall be, if thou have no delight H2654 in her, then thou shalt let her go H7971 whither she will; H5315 but thou shalt not sell H4376 her at all H4376 for money, H3701 thou shalt not make merchandise H6014 of her, because H834 thou hast humbled H6031 her.
And they shall amerce H6064 him in an hundred H3967 shekels of silver, H3701 and give H5414 them unto the father H1 of the damsel, H5291 because he hath brought up H3318 an evil H7451 name H8034 upon a virgin H1330 of Israel: H3478 and she shall be his wife; H802 he may H3201 not put her away H7971 all his days. H3117
Then ye shall bring H3318 them both H8147 out unto the gate H8179 of that city, H5892 and ye shall stone H5619 them with stones H68 that they die; H4191 the damsel, H5291 because H834 H1697 she cried H6817 not, being in the city; H5892 and the man, H376 because H834 H1697 he hath humbled H6031 his neighbour's H7453 wife: H802 so thou shalt put away H1197 evil H7451 from among H7130 you.

Commentary on Deuteronomy 22 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 22
The laws of this chapter provide,
Deu 22:1-4
The kindness that was commanded to be shown in reference to an enemy (Ex. 23:4, etc.) is here required to be much more done for a neighbour, though he were not an Israelite, for the law is consonant to natural equity.
Deu 22:5-12
Here are several laws in these verses which seem to stoop very low, and to take cognizance of things mean and minute. Men's laws commonly do not so: De minimis non curat lex-The law takes no cognizance of little things; but because God's providence extends itself to the smallest affairs, his precepts do so, that even in them we may be in the fear of the Lord, as we are under his eye and care. And yet the significancy and tendency of these statutes, which seem little, are such that, notwithstanding their minuteness, being fond among the things of God's law, which he has written to us, they are to be accounted great things.
Deu 22:13-30
These laws relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint by laying a penalty upon those fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
