Exegesis
The initial command vehesirah {וְהֵסִירָה | vä·hê·sî·rā(h)} “and she shall remove” governs the construct simlat shivyah {שִׂמְלַת שִׁבְיָהּ | sîm·lat šîv·yā(h)} “garment of captivity,” emphasizing her release.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:13
Then she shall take off the garment of her captivity and remain in your house; she shall weep for her father and her mother a full month . After that, you may go in to her and be her husband, and she shall be to you as a wife.
