Deuteronomy 22:28–30 · Berean Standard Bible

28 If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,

29 then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.

30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
