Exodus 22

14 If a man borrows an animal from his neighbor and it is injured or dies while its owner is not present, he must make full restitution.

15 If the owner was present, no restitution is required. If the animal was rented, the fee covers the loss.

16 If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged in marriage and sleeps with her, he must pay the full dowry for her to be his wife.

17 If her father absolutely refuses to give her to him, the man still must pay an amount comparable to the bridal price of a virgin.

18 You must not allow a sorceress to live.
