The Bible says that at least two witnesses are needed to establish a matter. (Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:6 ) But under the Law, if a man raped an engaged girl “in the field” and she screamed, she was innocent of adultery and he was not. Given that others did not witness the rape, why was she innocent while he was guilty?
Deuteronomy 22:25-27 (NASB)
25 “But if in the field the man finds the girl who is engaged, and the
man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lies with her
shall die. 26 But you shall do nothing to the girl; there is no sin in
the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his neighbor
and murders him, so is this case. 27 When he found her in the field,
the engaged girl cried out, but there was no one to save her.
