## In Jewish tradition

A man who takes a second wife must still give the first wife food, clothing and her marital rights.

**Interpretation.** Rabbis understood these as three duties a husband owes his wife (food, clothing, and intimacy, called onah), which are in the marriage contract.

### Examples

- If he take him another wife, her food, her raiment, and her conjugal rights, shall he not diminish. (Torah EXO.21.10, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/conjugal/#x1)
