Dear Isaac,

HH: That not the situation the law outlines. Would you please read what 
the law says:

Deut. 22:13  Suppose a man marries a woman, but after going in to her, 
he dislikes her
Deut. 22:14 and makes up charges against her, slandering her by saying, 
"I married this woman; but when I lay with her, I did not find evidence 
of her virginity."

HH: That's what it's talking about.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
