Bible verse
A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
Deuteronomy 22:30 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 22.
26 Do nothing to the young woman, because she has committed no sin worthy of death. This case is just like one in which a man attacks his neighbor and murders him.
27 When he found her in the field, the betrothed woman cried out, but there was no one to save her.
28 If a man encounters a virgin who is not pledged in marriage, and he seizes her and lies with her, and they are discovered,
29 then the man who lay with her must pay the young woman’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she must become his wife because he has violated her. He must not divorce her as long as he lives.
30 A man is not to marry his father’s wife, so that he will not dishonor his father’s marriage bed.
