The Code of Hammurabi

English, translated by C. H. W. Johns — Johns, The Oldest Code of Laws in the World, Edinburgh, 1903

If a man has left his city and fled, after him his wife has entered the house of another, if that man shall return and has seized his wife, because he hated his city and fled, the wife of the truant shall not return to her husband.
