Marriage quote from bible

I found this quote in bible and want to bring it to the notice of the people here.

Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (New International Version, ©2011)

²⁸ If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, ²⁹ he shall pay her father fifty shekels^[a] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

Footnotes:

Deuteronomy 22:29 That is, about 1 1/4 pounds or about 575 grams
