With respect to divorce, a woman can demand by law and right to be separated from her husband, or divorced, whenever he ill-treats her, or estranges himself from her. Eunuchs, who have the charge of the women, are allowed to marry, although they cannot have any family. The chief eunuch of the Bardo has the most revolting countenance.
Stephen raised his brows, and glanced towards his wife. Her face was dubious, a little scared. There was a silence. Then Bianca spoke: "Well?" That word, like nearly all her speeches, seemed rather to disconcert her hearers. "So Hughs ill-treats her?" said Hilary. "She says so," replied Cecilia "at least, that's what I understood. Of course, I don't know any details."
I don't say it is a landlord's duty to provide more cottages than are wanted; but if the labour is wanted, the labourer should be decently housed. He is worthy of his hire, and woe to the man who neglects or ill-treats him! Langham could not help smiling, partly at the vehemence of the speech, partly at the lack of adjustment between his friend's mood and his own.
"They say one of them once gave herself to Satan, and since then he's had a claim upon them and ill-treats them whenever the moon's waning, whether they like it or not. He has no power over the pure, of course; but when these two had got to know one another, things went wrong with her too.

"Well, I don't complain as far as the food's concerned; but there's a little too much for us two to do, and then it's so miserable to hear that woman crying nearly the whole time. I wonder if he ill-treats her; they say not." "I'm sure he doesn't," said Kalle. "Even if he wanted to as you can very well understand he might he dursn't. He's afraid of her, for she's possessed by a devil, you know."
What love there is lasts longest between the mother and her daughter.

"He drinks and ill-treats you." Stella shook her head. "You asked questions in Bombay where we are known. You were not told that," she said confidently.
