George Haydock's Catholic Commentary

Leviticus 21:9

Fire. Provided she be betrothed, and still in her father's house; so that the infamy fall upon him. (Jonathan) --- For if she be with her husband, she must undergo the usual punishment of stoning. Other young women received no corporal punishment for simple fornication: the man was bound to marry them, if the father consented; and, at any rate, he was forced to give them a dowry, Exodus xxii. 16. (Calmet) --- But if the woman pretended falsely that they were virgins, they were stoned, Deuteronomy xxii. 20.
