Sifrei on Deuteronomy

Sifrei Devarim 239

English · Shraga Silverstein

(Devarim 22:20) "And if the matter were true — if virginity were not found in the maiden": This tells me only of natural coitus. Whence do I derive the same for unnatural coitus? From "And if the matter were true."

"if virginity were not found in the maiden": i.e., if there were no witnesses to refute the witnesses of the husband.

(Ibid. 21) "Then they shall take out the maiden to the door of her father's house." This tells me only of her having a father and a door of her father's house. Whence do I derive (the same for) a maiden who lacks either one? From "Then they shall take out the maiden" (to be stoned) — in any event.
