Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (King James Version)
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.hmm, didn't read those verses before.
Just about half of the rules in Deuteronomy are pretty whacky.
Christians don't always follow Deuteronomy, in part because it was intended for the Hebrews and is part of the Old Testament. Much of it (note the lack of any specific percentage or even any inference to a majority or minority of it) is not applicable any longer to Christians (see Acts...15 I think, trying to hurry, don't have time to look, about the changes in expectations of Christians).
