22If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
23If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
25But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die.
26But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
27For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her.
28If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. 30A man shall not take his father's wife, nor discover his father's skirt.

So here's my understanding of relevant scripture:
Married woman raped - stone the married woman and the rapist
Virgin raped - stone the virgin, unless she marries and is faithful to her rapist
Engaged woman raped in the country only if she screams - This is the only case where the woman is not to be stoned
Engaged woman raped in a town - stone her
Is my understanding correct that the only woman not to receive judgment is a woman who is engaged that is raped only in the country and only if she screams? What defines the country? Is country defined as an unicorporated and rural area by the census? I pray for guidance from a True Christian man.
