), it is true thou needest not ask her parents' consent, for she is thy captive, and is at thy disposal.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

If his love should afterwards cool and he become indifferent to her person, he was not to lord it over her, neither to sell her in the slave market, nor retain her in a subordinate condition in his house; but she was to be free to go where her inclinations led her.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed
