Document Summary
No duty of fidelity for the man: had to stay away from citizen women and female relatives. Could sleep with slaves, metics, citizen males. A wife was liable: cannot have her have another man"s child. Could not have non-citizen children taking the place of citizen children. If he catches his wife in the act he had the right to put the miochos to death. Draco"s law states this: risky as the victim"s family could charge you with homicide. Raphanidosis: shove a radish or a spiny fish into the anus of the man that. Could accept compensation is in bed with your wife. Could hold the man prisoner until he gives you the money. To rebut the charge of adultery moichos could do so by a graphe. Institute a court case against the husband for holding him illegally: the adulterer he could be hauled before the eleven. Ways to plead innocence: even if you are caught in the act.
