رِسَالَةُ بُولُسَ ٱلرَّسُولِ إِلَى أَهْلِ رُومِيَةَ 7:2

فَإِنَّ ٱلْمَرْأَةَ ٱلَّتِي تَحْتَ رَجُلٍ هِيَ مُرْتَبِطَةٌ بِٱلنَّامُوسِ بِٱلرَّجُلِ ٱلْحَيِّ. وَلَكِنْ إِنْ مَاتَ ٱلرَّجُلُ فَقَدْ تَحَرَّرَتْ مِنْ نَامُوسِ ٱلرَّجُلِ.

For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
