Which says she can commit adultery legitimately For this reason, the loyal wife will appeal to her husband's compassion in order to obtain the long-awaited precious document, only to be crushed under a sluggish, prejudiced system and Elisha's sinister machinations. Sadly, as the days turn to weeks and then months, an absolutely hideous Kafkaesque nightmare will gradually devour the powerless and forsaken by both men and God Viviane. Is there a way out of this madness?—Nick Riganas
