Quote:
Do not honor a slave girl in your house; she should not rule your bedroom like a wife, do not give yourself over to slave girls....Let this be said among your people: "The household which a slave girl rules, she disrupts." Do not marry a prostitute, whose husbands are legion, an Ishtar-woman who is dedicated to a god, a kulmashitu-woman. . . .When you have trouble, she will not support you, when you have a dispute she will be a mocker. There is no reverence or submissiveness in her. Even if she is powerful in the household, get rid of her, for she pricks up her ears for the footsteps of another.
Looks like good advice for 4 thousand years ago, good advice for today and good advice for 4000 years from now. Simplistic translation: slave girls are for sexual gratification housewives are to run your household. Do not get the two confused. Do not marry a woman who is overly religious she will always put God before you. Do not marry a woman who feels she is your equal or superior she will spend much of her time trying to prove it and much of her time looking for a man she thinks is more suitable for her. Yes just so more of my opinions.
