Deuteronomy22:29

29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsels father fifty shekels of silver , and she shall be his wife , because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all his dayes .

Besides the dowry, as Philo the Learned Iew notes, which is here omitted, because that was common and customary, and because it might easily be gathered out of Exod. 22. 16. it being sufficient here to mention what was peculiar to this case.

To wit, if her Father consent to it, which is to be supposed out of Exod. 22. 16. it being not likely that the Father should lose his paternal right of disposing his Child when she was in some sort forced, rather than when she was inticed.

Which others were suffered to do, Deut. 24. 1. and he who inticed the maid, Exod. 22. 16. was not prohibited to do.
