Bible Question: What was the punishment in the old testament for fornication? |
Bible Answer: hi michael, Your question is answered in Deut 22.22-29. If a man lies with a married or betrothed woman he will be put to death. The woman also unless she was forced. In the case of an unbetrothed woman (whether forced or not)the punishment is a fine and a sentence to marry the girl (giving her her dowry) with no rights of divorce. This was for the woman's protection. She would be unmarriageable. If she or her family is unwilling for a marriage to take place he must pay her her dowry (Exod 22.16-17). Best wishes. |
