Deuteronomy 22:18-19 False accusation, a evil name!

 18Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him. 19They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silverc and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.


False accusations brought punishment, what type the Bible doesn’t state.

They also fined him a hundred shekels of silver and he couldn’t ever divorce her!

I suspect after false accusations, punishment, a heavy fine and no divorce that they couldn’t ever live in harmony as the Lord desired in a marriage.


Ephesians 5: 28In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.


Could a man who loves ðŸ’• his wife bring such an accusation?


Let’s look at Joseph.

Matthew 1: 19And Joseph her [promised] husband, being a just and righteous man and not wanting to expose her publicly to shame, planned to send her away and divorce her quietly.


Would you react by making a public accusation or quietly like Joseph?

Blessings
