Se’if 1א׳

מִי שֶׁהֻחְזַק בִּשְׁאֵר בָּשָׂר, דָּנִין עַל פִּי חֲזָקָה זוֹ אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין שָׁם רְאָיָה בְּרוּרָה שֶׁזֶּה קָרוֹב, וּמַלְקִין וְחוֹנְקִין וְסוֹקְלִין עַל חֲזָקָה זוֹ:

One who is held to be a kinsman [in regards to illicit relations], we judge on this presumption in spite of the fact that there is no clear proof that he is a relative, and we lash [him] and strangle [him] and stone [him] according to this presumption.

Se’if 2ב׳

אִישׁ וְאִשָּׁה שֶׁבָּאוּ מִמְּדִינַת הַיָּם, הִיא אוֹמֶרֶת: זֶה בַּעְלִי, וְהוּא אוֹמֵר: זוֹ אִשְׁתִּי, אִם הֻחְזְקוּ בָּעִיר שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם שֶׁהִיא אִשְׁתּוֹ, הוֹרְגִין עָלֶיהָ:

A man and a woman that came from a foreign country, she says: this is my husband, and he says: this is my wife, if it becomes known in that city for thirty days that she is his wife, they kill because of her.
