Deuteronomy 22:20

But if this thing be true ,.... Which the husband of the damsel laid to her charge, that she was no virgin when married to him, and she had committed whoredom, of which there was plain proof:

and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel ; by her parents, or those who had the care of her; or no sufficient reason could be assigned for the want of them, through any family defect, or any disorder of her own; which, as Maimonides F26 Hilchot Ishot, c. 11. sect. 12. says, the judges were to inquire into.
