But if you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her for money or treat her as merchandise, because you have humiliated her.

Deuteronomy 21:14 · ZARZA Bible

In context

12bring her into your home. She is to shave her head, trim her nails, 13and remove the clothes she was captured in. She is to stay in your house and mourn her father and mother a full month. After that, you may go in to her and be her husband, and she will be your wife. 14But if you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her for money or treat her as merchandise, because you have humiliated her. 15If a man has two wives, one loved and the other unloved, and both have borne him sons, and the firstborn belongs to the unloved wife, 16then on the day he passes his property on to his sons, he must not treat the son of the loved wife as the firstborn in place of the son of the unloved wife, who is actually the firstborn.
