Translations:Does the proverb about the jealous husband show that prostitution is legal? (Prov. 6:32-35)/12/en
From Theonomy Wiki
- Proverbs describes two options available to a husband who is a victim of adultery:
- prosecuting a case of adultery with the expectation of a death penalty.
- choosing not to prosecute, in return for accepting a monetary payment from the adulterous man.
- Because this proverb describes both of these options, it must mean that both of these options are lawful for the husband.
- Therefore, it is Biblically lawful for a husband to accept money in return for someone adulterously sleeping with his wife.
