Abaye's wife had a daughter. <i>He</i> declared, '[She must marry] one of <i>my</i> relations,' and <i>she</i> maintained, 'one of <i>mine</i>'. So he said to her: '[All] benefit from me be forbidden to you if you disregard my wish and marry her to one of your relations.' She went, ignored his desire, and married her to her relation.
