patiṁ ca patitaṁ tyajet


SYNONYMS

patim—husband; ca—and; patitam—fallen; tyajet—one should give up.


TRANSLATION

"When a husband is fallen, his relationship must be given up."


PURPORT

This is a quotation from smṛti-śāstram. As stated in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (SB 7.11.28):

santuṣṭālolupā dakṣā
dharma-jñā priya-satya-vāk
apramattā śuciḥ snigdhā
patiṁ tv apatitaṁ bhajet

"A wife who is satisfied, who is not greedy, who is expert and knows religious principles, who speaks what is dear and truthful and is not bewildered, who is always clean and affectionate, should be very devoted to her husband who is not fallen."
