Context — Marriage Violations
17And now he has accused her of shameful conduct, saying, ‘I discovered that your daughter was not a virgin.’ But here is the proof of her virginity.” And they shall spread out the cloth before the city elders.
18Then the elders of that city shall take the man and punish him.
19They are also to fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given a virgin of Israel a bad name. And she shall remain his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
20If, however, this accusation is true, and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house, and there the men of her city will stone her to death. For she has committed an outrage in Israel by being promiscuous in her father’s house. So you must purge the evil from among you.Cross References

Deuteronomy 22:19 Summary
[This verse is about a situation where a man falsely accuses his new wife of not being a virgin, and as a result, he has to pay a fine and stay married to her for the rest of his life. This shows how seriously God takes the importance of telling the truth and protecting people's reputations, as seen in Proverbs 22:1. It also highlights the value of commitment and accountability in marriage, similar to the teachings in Ephesians 5:25-33. By studying this verse, we can learn more about God's heart for justice and mercy, and how we can apply these principles in our own lives, remembering that our words and actions have consequences, as warned in James 1:26.]

Why is the man not allowed to divorce his wife after falsely accusing her of not being a virgin?

What is the purpose of the elders' involvement in this situation?
The elders are involved in punishing the man and overseeing the situation, as mentioned in Deuteronomy 22:18, to ensure justice is served and to protect the young woman's rights, similar to the role of elders in other biblical contexts, such as Acts 11:30 and 1 Timothy 5:17-20.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:19
Unto the father of the damsel; because this was a reproach to his family, and to himself, because such a miscarriage of his daughter would have been ascribed to his evil education. He may not put her away all his days; which seems to have been his design in this false accusation, and therefore that liberty of a divorce which is permitted to others, , shall be denied to him.
Trapp's Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:19
Deuteronomy 22:19 And they shall amerce him in an hundred [shekels] of silver, and give [them] unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.Ver. 19. He hath brought up an evil name.] Which is a kind of murder. God shall clear the innocency of his slandered servants. As the eclipsed moon, by keeping her motion, wades out of the shadow and recovers her splendour, so shall it be with such.
Ellicott's Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:19
Deuteronomy 22:13-30. LAWS OF .(13-21) Virginity.—The law in these verses will be best appreciated by considering its effects. The maidens in Israel would be compelled to guard their maidenliness and innocence, as they valued their lives. Jealousy and caprice on the part of the husbands, in view of this law, would be avoided as likely to incur discredit and serious penalties. A fine of 100 shekels (as in Deuteronomy 22:19), or 50 (as in Deuteronomy 22:29), was no light matter for a nation who found a quarter shekel sufficient for a present to a great man (1 Samuel 9:8), and half a shekel too much for a poll-tax on the men of military age (1 Chronicles 21:3, and Exodus 30:15; Nehemiah 10:32). The law of the jealousy offering in Numbers 5:12-31, must also be taken into consideration, as guarding the fidelity of the wife. It would be most unadvisable for either man or woman so to act as to bring themselves under the penalties here described. The tendency of these laws would be to make all men watchful and careful for the honour of their families. (21) She hath wrought folly in Israel.—This expression should be noticed. It appears for the first time in Genesis 34:7, very shortly after the bestowal of the name Israel (Genesis 32).
It would almost appear that the name entailed a higher standard of behaviour upon Jacob’s family, after the hand of the Holy One had been laid upon their father. A separate code of rules were binding upon the chosen people from the very beginning of their history. Hardly any point is made of more importance, from the birth of Isaac downwards, than the purity of the chosen seed. (22) Adultery.—See Leviticus 20:10. “Moses in the Law commanded us that such should be stoned.” It was not disputed by our Saviour (John 8:5).
Cambridge Bible on Deuteronomy 22:19
19. amerce] Or fine, also in E, Exodus 21:22. On the estimate of the silver shekel as = 2sh. 9d., this came to £13. 15sh. It is paid to the father who had been responsible for his daughter’s integrity (cp. Deuteronomy 22:16, I gave my daughter to this man) and whose family name had been damaged by the slanderer; but also the national name, cp. a virgin of Israel. By § 127 of Ḫ ?ammurabi the false accuser of another man’s wife was branded. and she shall be his wife] Heb. emphatic; and to him shall she (continue to) be to wife. It is just that he should not be free of his obligations to her, for the motive of his slander had been to get rid of her. But for her it is rough justice. A woman could not divorce a man. By § 142 of Ḫ ?ammurabi, if a woman repudiated her husband her past was investigated, and if she had no vice but the husband had belittled her she took her marriage portion and went back to her father’s house.
Barnes' Notes on Deuteronomy 22:19
The fine was to be paid to the father, because the slander was against him principally as the head of the wife’s family. If the damsel were an orphan the fine reverted to herself.
Whedon's Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:19
13-29. If any man take a wife, etc. — This section relates to purity in reference to marriage. The wellbeing of the family and of the state depends upon strict observance of the laws of purity in the relation of husband and wife.
