(KJV.) GENESIS 34:1-7
Defiling of Dinah:
(1) AND DINAH the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
(2) And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her; and lay with her and defiled her.
(3) And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
(4) And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor; saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
(5) And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
(6) And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
(7) And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth; because he had wrought folly in Isreal in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
ADDENDUM
Shechem defiled Dinah but did not propose to her, rather he asked his father to ask for her hand in marriage from Jacob, why did the father wait for his brothers to hear about the bad news first?
