If there is no local custom for women to perform specific labor, what work may a husband compel his wife to do?
Halacha 1 states that if no local custom exists, the husband may compel his wife to spin wool — not flax, because flax damages the mouth and lips.
Question 2
Which of the following tasks must a wife perform even if she has multiple maids?
Halacha 4 specifies that the five personal tasks — including making his bed and pouring beverages — are performed only by the wife herself as a sign of personal closeness, regardless of how many maids she has.
Question 3
When a wife is in the niddah state, how must she serve her husband a drink?
Halacha 8 rules that she should not place the beverage directly in his hand as usual; instead she leaves it on the ground, a utensil, or a table, to avoid arousal.
Question 4
If a woman takes a vow never to nurse her child, until what age can she still be compelled to do so?
Halacha 13 rules that despite a vow, a woman may be compelled to nurse her child — male or female — until 24 months of age, as nursing is implied in the marital contract.
Question 5
After a divorce, until what age must a father support his son even while the son lives with his mother?
Halacha 17 states that after the child completes his sixth year, the father may condition support on the son living in his custody; until that age the father is compelled to provide sustenance even while the son remains with his mother.
