Tosefta sur Le Deutéronome 22:19
וְעָנְשׁ֨וּ אֹת֜וֹ מֵ֣אָה כֶ֗סֶף וְנָתְנוּ֙ לַאֲבִ֣י הַֽנַּעֲרָ֔ה כִּ֤י הוֹצִיא֙ שֵׁ֣ם רָ֔ע עַ֖ל בְּתוּלַ֣ת יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וְלֽוֹ־תִהְיֶ֣ה לְאִשָּׁ֔ה לֹא־יוּכַ֥ל לְשַּׁלְּחָ֖הּ כָּל־יָמָֽיו׃ (ס)
et ils le condamneront à payer cent sicles d’argent, qu’ils remettront au père de la jeune femme, parce qu’il a émis un bruit calomnieux sur une vierge d’Israël; de plus, elle restera sa femme, il ne pourra la répudier de sa vie.
Tosefta Ketubot
Both the rapist and the man who spread false rumours about his wife's virginity (motzi shem ra), if they divorce [her], they force him to return [her]. If they are priests [and so can't get remarried to someone they divorced], they are lashed with 40 lashes. Whether its the rapist or the seducer, either she or her father can prevent [the marriage], as it is said, "If objecting her father objects" (Shemot 22:16) [proving her father's consent is required] and it is said, "She will be for him a wife" (Shemot 22:19)—i.e. with her consent [as well]. For him you can force, but you can't force him to be a levir.
