Deuteronomy 21

¹⁰ When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hand and you take them captive,

¹¹ if you see a beautiful woman among them, and you desire her and want to take her as your wife,

¹² then you shall bring her into your house. She must shave her head, trim her nails,

¹³ and put aside the clothing of her captivity. After she has lived in your house a full month and mourned her father and mother, you may have relations with her and be her husband, and she shall be your wife.

¹⁴ And if you are not pleased with her, you are to let her go wherever she wishes. But you must not sell her for money or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
