22:14 accusing her of impropriety 1 and defaming her reputation 2 by saying, “I married this woman but when I had sexual relations 3 with her I discovered she was not a virgin!”
Ulangan 25:8
25:8 Then the elders of his city must summon him and speak to him. If he persists, saying, “I don’t want to marry her,”
1 tnHeb “deeds of things”; NRSV “makes up charges against her”; NIV “slanders her.”
2 tnHeb “brings against her a bad name”; NIV “gives her a bad name.”
3 tnHeb “drew near to her.” This is another Hebrew euphemism for having sexual relations.
