Exodus 21:7-11
21:7
And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
21:8
If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
21:9
And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
21:10
If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
21:11
And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
Makes me wonder how any woman in the 21st century could be a christian (or a practicing Jew, for that matter).
