This phrase sets the stage for a legal case concerning marital fidelity and the responsibilities of a husband.<p><b>has relations with her</b><br>This phrase indicates the consummation of the marriage, which was a significant event in establishing the marital bond. In biblical times, sexual relations were intended to be exclusive within marriage, symbolizing unity and commitment. The consummation was also a legal confirmation of the marriage covenant.<p><b>and comes to hate her</b><br>The term "hate" here suggests a strong aversion or rejection, which could arise from various reasons, including personal dissatisfaction or unfounded accusations. In the cultural context, such a change in attitude could lead to serious legal and social consequences. This phrase introduces the potential for a legal dispute, as the husband's feelings could lead to accusations against the wife, impacting her reputation and status. This situation is addressed in the subsequent verses, which provide legal procedures to protect the rights of the woman and ensure justice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/man.htm">Man</a></b><br>The husband in the scenario who marries a woman and later claims to hate her.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/w/woman.htm">Woman</a></b><br>The wife who is the subject of the husband's claim.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/marriage.htm">Marriage</a></b><br>The covenantal relationship between the man and the woman.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/h/hate.htm">Hate</a></b><br>The emotional response of the man towards his wife, leading to the subsequent legal and social actions.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelite_society.htm">Israelite Society</a></b><br>The cultural and legal context in which these laws were given, reflecting the values and norms of ancient Israel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_sanctity_of_marriage.htm">The Sanctity of Marriage</a></b><br>Marriage is a sacred covenant that should be entered with reverence and commitment.

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.

It would be most unadvisable for either man or woman so to act as to bring themselves under the penalties here described.
