If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her, Cross References Matthew 1:18 This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged in marriage to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:19 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and was unwilling to disgrace her publicly, he resolved to divorce her quietly. Leviticus 19:20 If a man lies carnally with a slave girl promised to another man but who has not been redeemed or given her freedom, there must be due punishment. But they are not to be put to death, because she had not been freed. Deuteronomy 22:24 you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death--the young woman because she did not cry out in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor's wife. So you must purge the evil from among you.
