(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said elders_of of,the_congregation what? do for,who]_remain for,wives that/for/because/then/when destroyed from,Benjamin woman/wife )
The author is not referring to a specific woman. He means women in general. It may be more natural in your language to express this meaning by using a plural form. Alternate translation: [the women have been destroyed from Benjamin]

כִּֽי־נִשְׁמְדָ֥ה מִבִּנְיָמִ֖ן אִשָּֽׁה
(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_said elders_of of,the_congregation what? do for,who]_remain for,wives that/for/because/then/when destroyed from,Benjamin woman/wife )
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [since we have destroyed all the women of the tribe of Benjamin]
