If a man forbade himself by vow to have intercourse with his wife Beth Shammai ruled: [she must consent to the deprivation for] two weeks; Beth Hillel ruled: [only for] one week. Students may go away to study the Torah, without the permission [of their wives for a period of] thirty days; labourers [only for] one week. The times for conjugal duty prescribed in the Torah are: for men of independence, every day; for labourers, twice a week; for ass-drivers, once a week; for Camel-drivers, once in thirty days; for sailors, once in six months. These are the rulings of R. Eliezer |

If a wife rebels against her husband. Her Kethubah may be reduced by seven denarii a week. R. Judah said: seven tropaics. For how long may the reduction continue to be made? Until [a sum] corresponding to her Kethubah [has accumulated]. R. Jose said: reductions may be made continually until [such time] when, should an inheritance fall to her from elsewhere, [Her husband] will be in a position to collect from her the [full amount due]. Similarly, if a husband rebels against his wife, an addition of three denarii a week is made to her Kethubah. R. Judah said: three tropaics. |
