A few bizarre rules regarding marriage, divorce, and the death of a husband.
* A newly-wed couple's honeymoon lasts for a year!
* If a woman intercedes when her husband and another man are fighting, then she should have her hand amputated.
* If a woman's husband dies, she must lie with her husband's brother and bear a child who will be named for her dead husband.
* Still they are being promised a land of milk and honey, are there no bees or cows/goats/sheep where they are now?
