Hence the reason to be obedient to her husband even when it wouldn't make sense. If he doesn't she will be only an angel forced to serve her husband and his wives that are goddesses. This can be a very humiliating thought after living one life fighting with the other wives. These women are told to be sweet. There is a lot of pent up anger that they take out on the other wives children. A lot of the abuse that goes on is from the women to the children of other wives.

Isn't there something about the husband "pulling the wife through" somehow?
I read the same book but can't remember the details like You do.
