14. It depends if it took place in the country or in a city. Deuteronomy
Edited on Mon Jul-10-06 02:46 PM by IanDB1
If a woman is raped in the country, then only the man shall die (since there was no one to hear her if she cried out.)

If a woman is raped in the city and doesn't cry out loud enough, the men of the city must stone her to death.

22:23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

22:24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.


22:25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.

22:26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:

22:27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
