9181. Verses 16-17 When a man persuades a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. If her father utterly refuses to give her to him, he shall pay silver according to the dowry of virgins. 'When a man persuades a virgin who is not betrothed' means good that has not been joined to truth. 'And lies with her' means a wrongful joining together. 'He shall surely endow her to be his wife' means a token of consent on his side to a rightful joining together. 'If the father utterly refuses to give her to him' means if interior good does not allow the joining together. 'He shall pay silver according to the dowry of virgins' means another kind of truth which consents instead.

Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
