He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people,
seeing he has dealt deceitfully with her.

the manner of daughters.
021:010 If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish
her food, her clothing, and her marital rights.

without paying any money.
021:012 "One who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be
put to death,
021:013 but not if it is unintentional, but God allows it to happen:

021:018 "If men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone,
or with his fist, and he doesn't die, but is confined to bed;
021:019 if he rises again and walks around with his staff,
then he who struck him shall be cleared: only he shall pay
for the loss of his time, and shall provide for his healing
