Adultery: Oddest means of detection
Men have always been keen to detect adultery in their wives - or, by means of chastity belts,
etc., to prevent them
the opportunity. Some odd ways of discovering the unfaithful wife have been invented. Some
have relied on
magic, e.g. the test which makes use of the supposed power of holy water. There is a nice
description of such
an "adultery test" in Numbers V. We will quote one bit- "And when he hath made her to drink
the water, then
it shall come to pass, that if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that
the water that
causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her
thigh shall rot: and the
woman shall be a curse among her people." As one couple of writers remark - "God did not
trouble to institute
any similar test for unfaithful husbands."
