She waswith him until she grew older, and then he married a young girl andpreferred the young girl to her. She begged him to divorce her, so hedivorced her and then he gave her time until she had almost finishedher idda period and then he returned and still preferred the younggirl. She therefore asked him to divorce her. He divorced her once,and then returned to her, and still preferred the young girl, and sheasked him to divorce her. He said, "What do you want? There is onlyone divorce left. If you like, continue and put up with what you seeof preference, and if you like, I will separate from you." She said,"I will continue in spite of the preference." He kept her in spite ofthat. Rafi did not see that he had done any wrong action when sheremained with him in spite of preference. Translation Not Available
