ILLUSTRATIONS

 (a) A trunk or a work-box is not a husband, as it is not a moving, though a moveable piece of property.

 (b) Cattle are not husbands, for though capable of locomotion, they cannot be at the absolute disposal of any woman, as they often display a will of their own.

 (c) Men in the married state, having no will of their own, are husbands.

 3. A wife is a woman having the right of property in a husband.

EXPLANATION

 The right of property includes the right of flagellation.
