  1. Proverbs describes two options available to a husband who is a victim of adultery:
    1. prosecuting a case of adultery with the expectation of a death penalty.
    2. choosing not to prosecute, in return for accepting a monetary payment from the adulterous man.
  2. Because this proverb describes both of these options, it must mean that both of these options are lawful for the husband.
  3. Therefore, it is Biblically lawful for a husband to accept money in return for someone adulterously sleeping with his wife.
