Four Nations

A better translation:

If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and engages in carnal relations with her, he must marry her with a marriage contract. טווְכִֽי־יְפַתֶּ֣ה אִ֗ישׁ בְּתוּלָ֛ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹֽא־אֹרָ֖שָׂה וְשָׁכַ֣ב עִמָּ֑הּ מָהֹ֛ר יִמְהָרֶ֥נָּה לּ֖וֹ לְאִשָּֽׁה:
16If her father utterly refuses to give her to him in marriage, the seducer must weigh out money according to the customary monetary settlement of virgins.

Good luck meeting your first girl!

That "girl" that you chat online with on your computer in mom's basement isn't really a girl.
 
What you should take away from this is who many adulterers are out there in the eyes of God if God views premarital sex as a marriage.
The arrogance of talking monkeys to even purport they think on the same level as "God" and can disseminate what that"God" would think, feel (if they feel) and want is the ultimate reason I loathe humankind.
 
He's not perfect, but who is? As long as he apologizes and most importantly repents his sins he's holy in God's eyes - and therefor my own. Who are we to judge God's creatures based on their worst moments - God gave us freewill for a reason! Trust in God.

See, it works everywhere!
Not Holy...just forgiven...as long as the abhorrent behavior is not repeated.
