DEUTERONOMY 25:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets:”
If men get into a fight with one another, and the wife of one intervenes to help her husband by grabbing the genitals of his opponent — the woman acts to protect her husband, crossing a boundary of bodily violation. The law acknowledges her protective instinct while limiting the consequences.
