In Deut 22:13-21, there is a mention of a spurned young wife's "tokens of her virginity", that her own father or mother can "take and bring out".
What were "the tokens of virginity" that parents of a newly married youg woman could produce as evidence?
Is this something that is still observed among the Jews?
Please note v. 17:
And behold, he made libelous charges, saying, 'I did not find evidence of your daughter's virginity.' But this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity!' And they shall spread the garment before the elders of the city.
The "garment" has the evidence? What does this mean?
