Scripture focus
And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
Deuteronomy 21:13 — KJV
In thine house. She was to be withdrawn from public gaze, and remain in retirement for one month (see Genesis 38:11).
A full month. Compare with the period of mourning for Aaron and Moses (Numbers 20:29; Deuteronomy 34:8). This would give her time to adjust herself to her new environment.
Wife. It is apparent that God intended to discourage illicit relations, and to encourage lawful marriage. Even a captive woman was not to be made the plaything of a man’s passions, but if willing to live in harmony with God’s people, she was to be given an honorable status.
