It was not only a personal commitment but also a social contract with legal implications. The marriage process involved a betrothal period, which was as binding as marriage itself. This phrase sets the stage for a legal case concerning marital fidelity and the responsibilities of a husband. has relations with her

In biblical times, sexual relations were intended to be exclusive within marriage, symbolizing unity and commitment.

Lists and Questions Top 10 Lessons from Deuteronomy 22
What is the Bible's stance on virginity?
How do the “tokens of virginity” in Deuteronomy 22 reflect ancient cultural assumptions about female anatomy that conflict with modern medical understanding?
Is premarital pregnancy considered a sin?
Why does Deuteronomy 22:13–21 prescribe a severe punishment if a bride is found not to be a virgin?Deuteronomy 22:13-30. LAWS OF CONJUGAL FIDELITY.(13-21)Virginity.--The law in these verses will be best appreciated by considering itseffects.The maidens in Israel would be compelled to guard their maidenliness and innocence, as they valued their lives. Jealousy and caprice on the part of the husbands, in view of this law, would be avoided as likely to incur discredit and serious penalties. A fine of 100 shekels (as inDeuteronomy 22:19), or 50 (as inDeuteronomy 22:29), was no light matter for a nation who found a quarter shekel sufficient for a present to a great man (1Samuel 9:8), and half a shekel too much for a poll-tax on the men of military age (1Chronicles 21:3, andExodus 30:15;Nehemiah 10:32). The law of the jealousy offering inNumbers 5:12-31, must also be taken into consideration, as guarding the fidelity of the wife. It would be most unadvisable for either man or woman so to act as to bring themselves under the penalties here described. The tendency of these laws would be to make all men watchful and careful for the honour of their families. . . . Verses 13-29. - The laws in this section have the design of fostering purity and fidelity in the relation of the sexes, and also of protecting the female against the malice of sated lust and the violence of brutal lust. (For the case supposed in ver. 13, cf. 2 Samuel 13:15. On the whole section see Michaelis, 'Laws of Moses,' pt. 2. § 92; Niebuhr, 'Description de l'Arabie,' Deuteronomy 8; Burckhardt, 'Bedwins,' p. 214.)
