:30:02
My Iord, these peopIe
are from viIIage of Kamdesh.

:30:08
This man owns 60 cows.
AII cows in the viIIage.

:30:12
-Very enterprising of him.
-Enterprise is not his, it is hers.

:30:18
She´s his wife. Every time
he catches her with other man...

:30:22
...other man has to pay
six cows. Kafiri custom.

:30:26
Use other man´s wife,
pay him six cows.

:30:29
He´s piIed up
a fortune of 60 cows...

:30:32
-...out of her infideIities?
-And 32 goats.

:30:37
She ain´t a wife.
She´s a going concern!

:30:42
And these are the unfaithfuI
husbands and these the wives?

:30:47
Those four, wives of one man.
These three, wives of another.

:30:54
This ain´t no Iaughing matter!
:30:56
No cattIe, there ain´t meat nor
hides. No miIk, there ain´t...

:31:00
...butter or cheese and the
chiIdren´s bowIs go empty.

:31:04
Outrageous, it is!
:31:07
Now....
:31:10
For encouraging his wife to comport
herseIf Iike JezebeI...

:31:14
...one cow shaII be paid
each of the other wives.

:31:18
For using a good Iaw for
a bad purpose, another.

:31:21
For causing the young
to go without, a third.

:31:25
For thinking he can
get away with it, a fourth.

:31:29
He shaII pay 22 cases of compensation
of four cows to each wife.

:31:34
Which means, she´s got...
:31:40
-Fourteen and two-thirds.
-...more infideIities to commit...

:31:44
...to come out even.
:31:46
Let´s see how he Iikes it when she
earns cows for others. Next case.
