I'm waiting for Solon to tell us if it's all Biblical instruction for real.

One shoe? One shoe???? That's a fine????

Now, that's the one that I noticed especially, too. It does seem a rather... slight penalty for refusing to marry your sister in law. First they refuse to marry their sister in law, next thing you know they'll be refusing to marry people of the opposite sex, so that kind of behavior had better be nipped in the bud asap.

Oh wait. It says "and be otherwise punished in a manner to be determined by law." So the punishment is probably a fine of one shoe plus having to marry a marmot.

C. A marriage shall be considered valid only if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a virgin, she shall be executed. (Deut 22:13-21)
THAT needs work. At least 3/4 of current wives are kaput.

That one would have to be forward looking. A government agency would have to certify women as of the present as virgins or non-virgins. The non-virgins could only become second wives, but they could still marry once the man had married a virgin as his first wife.
