כִּֽי־יִקַּח אִישׁ אִשָּׁה וּבָא אֵלֶיהָ וּשְׂנֵאָֽהּ׃
If a man marries a woman, and he has relations with her and hates her.
If a man marries a woman, and he has relations with her and hates her.
Rashi
וְשָׂם לָהּ עֲלִילֹת דְּבָרִים וְהוֹצִא עָלֶיהָ שֵׁם רָע וְאָמַר אֶת־הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת לָקַחְתִּי וָאֶקְרַב אֵלֶיהָ וְלֹא־מָצָאתִי לָהּ בְּתוּלִֽים׃
Then berates her with calumnies and alleges defamation about her, and he claims, ‘‘I married this woman and was intimate with her, and did not find signs of her virginity.’’
Then berates her with calumnies and alleges defamation about her, and he claims, ‘‘I married this woman and was intimate with her, and did not find signs of her virginity.’’
Rashi
ושם לה עלילת דברים – עֲבֵרָה גּוֹרֶרֶת עֲבֵרָה, עָבַר עַל לֹא תִשְׂנָא, סוֹפוֹ לָבֹא לִידֵי לָשׁוֹן הָרָע (עי' ספרי):
berate her with calumnies. One transgression engenders another. He transgressed “Do not hate” — he will ultimately reach the point of malicious slander.
את האשה הזאת. מִכָּאן שֶׁאֵין אוֹמֵר דָּבָר אֶלָּא בִּפְנֵי בַעַל דִּין (שם):
This woman. We derive from here that no statement may be made except in the presence of the defendant.
וְלָקַח אֲבִי הַֽנַּעֲרָ וְאִמָּהּ וְהוֹצִיאוּ אֶת־בְּתוּלֵי הַֽנַּעֲרָ אֶל־זִקְנֵי הָעִיר הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃
The girl’s father and mother will take and will prove the girl’s virginity to the city judges in the court.
The girl’s father and mother will take and will prove the girl’s virginity to the city judges in the court.
Rashi
אבי הנערה ואמה. מִי שֶׁגִּדְּלוּ גִּדּוּלִים הָרָעִים יִתְבַּזּוּ עָלֶיהָ (עי' שם):
The girl’s father and mother. Those who nurtured the evil branch must suffer humiliation over it.
וְאָמַר אֲבִי הַֽנַּעֲרָ אֶל־הַזְּקֵנִים אֶת־בִּתִּי נָתַתִּי לָאִישׁ הַזֶּה לְאִשָּׁה וַיִּשְׂנָאֶֽהָ׃
The girl’s father should assert to the judges, ‘‘My daughter did I marry to this man as a wife and he hates her.
The girl’s father should assert to the judges, ‘‘My daughter did I marry to this man as a wife and he hates her.
Rashi
ואמר אבי הנערה. מְלַמֵּד שֶׁאֵין רְשׁוּת לָאִשָּׁה לְדַבֵּר בִּפְנֵי הָאִישׁ (שם):
The girl’s father should assert. This teaches that a woman is not permitted to speak before a man.
וְהִנֵּה־הוּא שָׂם עֲלִילֹת דְּבָרִים לֵאמֹר לֹֽא־מָצָאתִי לְבִתְּךָ בְּתוּלִים וְאֵלֶּה בְּתוּלֵי בִתִּי וּפָֽרְשׂוּ הַשִּׂמְלָה לִפְנֵי זִקְנֵי הָעִֽיר׃
Look! He has promulgated libelous words, claiming ‘I did not find signs of your daughter’s virginity.’ But this is [the proof of] my daughter’s virginity.’’ And let them spread the cloth before the city judges.

Rashi
ופרשו השמלה. הֲרֵי זֶה מָשָׁל, מְחֻוָּרִין הַדְּבָרִים כַּשִּׂמְלָה (שם; כתובות שם):
Let them spread the cloth. This is figurative — the matter is as clearcut as a cloth.
וְלָקְחוּ זִקְנֵי הָֽעִיר־הַהִוא אֶת־הָאִישׁ וְיִסְּרוּ אֹתֽוֹ׃
The judges of that city will take the man and will chastise him.
The judges of that city will take the man and will chastise him.
Rashi
ויסרו אתו. מַלְקוּת (שם):
And chastise him. Flogging.
וְעָנְשׁוּ אֹתוֹ מֵאָה כֶסֶף וְנָתְנוּ לַאֲבִי הַֽנַּעֲרָה כִּי הוֹצִיא שֵׁם רָע עַל בְּתוּלַת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֽוֹ־תִהְיֶה לְאִשָּׁה לֹא־יוּכַל לְשַׁלְּחָהּ כׇּל־יָמָֽיו׃ {ס}
And they will fine him one hundred silver [shekels] and give [them] to the girl’s father, because he defamed a virgin of Yisroel; and she shall remain his wife, he may not divorce her all his life.

ובא אליה ושנאה. סוֹפוֹ,
He has relations with her and hates her. he will ultimately . . .
