bring a ram to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting

Matthew Henry notes that the betrothal gave the union the honor of marriage, so the wrong was punished. Her unfreed status kept it from the penalty for adultery with a free woman.

proposed

It was for the honour of marriage, though but begun by betrothing, that the crime should be punished; but it was for the honour of freedom that it should not be punished as the debauching of a free woman was, so great was the difference then made between bond and free ( Gal. iv. 30 ); but the gospel of Christ knows no such distinction, Col. iii.
