Dear Shoshanna

a) Your question is proof that this can only be talking about a woman who has had sex AFTER she was betrothed, ie; adulteress, since otherwise she would not be subject to death penalty if her husband were proven right, ie; that he is accusing her of sex AFTER their betrothal.

I agree. But if the reason she is put to death is because of the absence of hymenal blood on the night of the wedding, because of sex subsequent to betrothal, what evidence could she bring to refute the charge that the sex was subsequent to betrothal?
