“he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.”
Dude how do we know she was a virgin to start with? This is the age of Planned Parenthood after all.
I’m not an ordained pastor, I’m no expert in these things.
Of course there are more verses to apply in various cases.
The Bible consistently prohibits and exhorts against whoredom. If a daughter is unmarried and habitually having sex in her parent’s house, her parents are prostituting their own daughter.
Leviticus 19:29 “Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.”
Certainly the first time there is a prescribed penalty to be paid to the father. The first time would certainly indicate also a failure on the part of the parents to teach, guide and protect their daughter, if she was a willing participant. The Bible teaches that parents have an obligation to teach their children the Bible from the beginning of the child’s life, and on a daily, consistent basis. Such good teaching requires a close daily relationship between parent and child, which, of course, lessens the possibility of a child “going rogue” like they are very prone to do without such a close, godly relationship with their parents.
The second time ? I doubt the father would be due another payment, as that, IMHO, would fall under the category of prostitution / whoredom, but I could be wrong about this.
Homeschooling keeps all the wickedness of public schools out of the home as well, which helps guard against these types of sins as well as many others. Of course, the pitfalls of children communicating significantly with others outside the family with zero parental oversight are severe and obvious.
