“her wife”
Sorry, women don’t have “wives.” Husband and wife are inherently complementary terms like “lid” and “pot.” To say that a woman has a “wife” is as absurd as saying that a lid and a second lid constitute a complete unit.
Exactly, and men can’t have “husbands” for that matter.
Apparently, that is only part of the absurdity going on here.There was a lot of money changing hands here in an ingenuous fashion.
