13And he shall take a wife in her virginity.

14He shall not take these as wife: a widow, or a divorced woman, or a defiled woman, or a prostitute. Rather, he shall take a virgin from his own people as wife.

15He shall not profane his offspring among his people, for I am Yahweh who sanctifies him.
