A girl who does not bleed on her wedding night should be stoned to death:

Deuteronomy 22:20-21 (New International Version)

If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done a disgraceful thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.

John Quincy Adams once wrote "the great moral lesson of the Tragedy of Othello, is that black and white blood cannot be intermingled in marriage without a gross outrage upon the laws of nature, and that in such violations nature will vindicate her laws" (qtd. in Kahn 57). Interestingly, two editors of the Metropolitan took issue with Adams' calling Othello a "rude unbleached African soldier," though over Othello's race rather than Adams's racist generalizations, they being of the "tawny" school of Othello (MacLean 148-49).
