9So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the Lord. 10¶ When thou goest forth to warre against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath deliuered them into thine hands, & thou hast taken them captiue, 11And seest among the captiues a beautifull woman, and hast a desire vnto her, that thou wouldest haue her to thy wife: 12Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and shee shall shaue her head, and pare her nailes. 13And shee shall put the raiment of her captiuitie from off her, and shall remaine in thine house, and bewaile her father and her mother a full moneth: and after that, thou shalt go in vnto her and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.

Wesley's Notes for Deuteronomy 21:11
21:11 Hast a desire unto her - Or, hast taken delight in her: which may be a modest expression for lying with her, and seems probable, because it is said, #De 21:14|, that he had humbled her. And here seem to be two cases supposed, and direction given what to do in both of them, that he did desire to marry her, of which he speaks, #De 21:11 |- 13. that he did not desire this, of which he speaks, #De 21:14|.
