text: Until a divorce case has been finally settled the woman in question is not supposed to enter on any love-affairs, nor may other men go courting her; such conduct would amount to adultery, for there is always a possibility of her returning to her husband. Once the case has been argued and settled, she is free to form any new alliance she pleases.
