Commentary
Matthew Henry on Deuteronomy 22:13–end
These laws relate to the seventh commandment, laying a restraint by laying a penalty upon those fleshly lusts which war against the soul.
I. If a man, lusting after another woman, to get rid of his wife slander her and falsely accuse her, as not having the virginity she pretended to when he married her, upon the disproof of his slander he must be punished, Deu 22:13-19. What the meaning of that evidence is by which the husband's accusation was to be proved false the learned are not agreed, nor is it at all necessary to enquire - those for whom this law was intended, no doubt, understood it: it is sufficient for us to know that this wicked husband, who had thus endeavoured to ruin the reputat…
If a man take a wife, &c.--The regulations that follow might be imperatively needful in the then situation of the Israelites; and yet, it is not necessary that we should curiously and impertinently inquire into them. So far was it from being unworthy of God to leave such things upon record, that the enactments must heighten our admiration of His wisdom and goodness in the management of a people so perverse and so given to irregular passions. Nor is it a better argument that the Scriptures were not written by inspiration of God to object that this passage, and others of a like nature, tend to corrupt the imagination and will be abused by evil-disposed readers, than it is to say that the sun w…
If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her. That is, marries a wife, and cohabits with her as man and wife, and after some time dislikes her, and is desirous of parting with her, and therefore takes the following wicked method to obtain it: this is to be understood of a virgin taken to wife, as the Targum of Jonathan explains it; and what follows confirms it.
John Calvin on Deuteronomy 22:13-21
The Church Fathers
If you marry a woman and cohabit with her, and you get an aversion and impose words of opportunity and spreads bad reputation and says: "I married this woman and, approaching her, I did not find her a virgin", then the father and the mother of the girl, taking the evidence of the virginity of the girl, will bring them out to the elders, at the door, and the girl's father will say to the elders: "This daughter of mine I gave as a woman to This man and he, taking hate, now imposes words of opportunity, saying: I have not found the virginity of your daughter. But here is my daughter's virginity. " And they shall take up the cloth before the elders of that city, and the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him and impose a fine of a hundred shekels, and give them to the girl's father, because he propounded a bad name to an Israelite virgin; and this will be his wife; he will not be able to repudiate her in all his life. But if this thing is true and the virginity of the girl is not found, then the girl will be taken out of the door of her father's house and the men of that city will stone her with stones, and she will die, because she committed an infamy among the you children of Israel, prostituting the house of its father, and thus you will remove the evil of in the middle of you. This text clearly demonstrates how the law wanted women to be subject to their husbands and that wives were almost like maids, because, while the woman was stoned if it was proven true that the husband's testimony was against her, the man was not stoned if it was shown that his testimony had been false. He was only punished and fined, and forced to remain for the rest of his life with the woman from whom he had wanted to separate. In other cases, the law mandates that the same penalty be applied to this man should be punished if it were true, to the one that the law ordered to be killed if the false testimony with which he had harmed someone was proven.

Laws of Chastity and Marriage. - Higher and still holier than the order of nature stands the moral order of marriage, upon which the well-being not only of domestic life, but also of the civil commonwealth of nations, depends. Marriage must be founded upon fidelity and chastity on the part of those who are married. To foster this, and secure it against outbreaks of malice and evil lust, was the design and object of the laws which follow. The first (Deu 22:13-21) relates to the chastity of a woman on entering into the married state, which might be called in question by her husband, either from malice or with justice. The former case is that which Moses treats of first of all. If a man took a…
