Paradox #1
Deuteronomy 22:17 could be seen as morally contradictory or inconsistent because it deals with an accusation against a woman's chastity based on evidence provided by others, rather than her own voice or testimony. This can conflict with modern views on fairness and justice, particularly regarding the autonomy and rights of individuals in legal matters.
