The husband obtains his wife as a present from the gods, and not by his own wish; hence he should always support the faithful wife, thereby doing what is agreeable to the gods.鈥�(95)

 

Medh膩tithi鈥檚 commentary (manubh膩峁�ya):

What the verse means is that 鈥榯he faithful wife should not be abandoned, even though she suffer from the defects of being disagreeable or of harsh speech and so forth鈥�; and the rest of it is merely commendatory.

As for the rule that 鈥榟e shall keep her confined in one room,鈥� which has been laid down in regard to the unfaithful wife,鈥攖his applies to a case where there has been a single act of transgression on her part; if the act is repeated, divorce must follow. Otherwise, there would be no point in the assertion that 鈥榟e shall always support the faithful 飞颈蹿别.鈥�

As regards the declaration鈥斺�榳hen a woman has trans gressed, she shall have all her rights withdrawn, he dressed in dirty clothes and be given mere subsistence, being allowed to live in a degraded condition, lying upon the ground鈥� (驰腻箩帽补惫补濒办测补, 170),鈥攖his refers to a case where the husband is willing and able to keep her; if however he is unwilling, then there must be divorce.

It is going to be laid down later on that food and clothing should be provided for oven such wives as have become outcasts, and so forth; but that has to be taken only as prohibiting banishment which would be involved in the starting of a life of living on alms, which forms part of the expiatory rite consequent upon such heinous sins as the murdering of a Br膩hma峁嘺 and the like. This we shall explain later on. In any case, it is not incumbent upon the husband to support a wife who has turned unfaithful. Nor does the present text prescribe 鈥榗asting off鈥� which might be interpreted as 鈥榓voiding intercourse with her.鈥�

That the wife is a 鈥榩resent from the gods鈥� is implied by such Vedic texts and declamatory passages as鈥�^鈥�Soma gave her to Gandharva etc.,鈥� (峁欢惫别诲补, 10.85.41).

Or, she may be called 鈥榓 present from the gods鈥� in the sense that during the marriage-rite itself, the girl becomes the wife of the gods.

鈥�Obtains,鈥攏ot by his own, wish.鈥� So that the wife does not stand on the same footing as cattle or gold picked up in the market. This is what is meant by the phrase 鈥�not by his own wish.鈥�

鈥�What is agreeable to the gods.鈥欌�擶hen one divorces his wife, who is a necessary factor in the offering of libations to the Vi艣vedevas, he is not in a position to do 鈥榳hat is agreeable to the gods.鈥� Hence, even though she be hostile, she has to be supported. But in the event of her becoming an outcast, and hence losing her rights, the husband may 鈥榮upersede鈥� her.鈥�(95)

鈥�顿别惫补-诲补迟迟腻鈥欌�斺�楪iven by the gods, Bhaga, Aryaman, Savit峁� and the rest mentioned in the Vedic text recited during marriages鈥�,鈥斺�榝rom Agni鈥� (N膩r膩ya峁嘺);鈥斺�榝rom Soma, Agni and the Gandharvas鈥� (Medh膩tithi and Nandana).

This verse is quoted in 痴颈惫腻诲补谤补迟苍腻办补谤补 (p. 481).

 

Comparative notes by various authors

惭补丑腻产丑腻谤补迟补 (13.44.27).鈥斺�楾hat man obtains his wife as a gift from the gods is the teaching of the Law; he (who does not treat her well) falsifies the word of man and god.鈥�
