Commentary for Sotah 53:6

כי תיבעי לך אליבא דמ"ד אין אשה מתעברת אלא סמוך לטבילתה מאי כיון דידע בה נטורי מנטר לה או דלמא כיון דפרוצה ביותר לא תיקו

According to him who maintains that a woman only conceives immediately before her period the question does not arise, because [the husband] may not know [when this is] and does not watch her; but the question does arise according to him who maintains that a woman only conceives immediately after the time of her purification. How is it then? Does he watch her since he knows when this occurs; or perhaps this is of no account since she is excessively dissolute?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And she may deceive him although he is careful to watch her.
