Slander Within Marriage (Remastered)

What happens when the most intimate relationship becomes a battlefield of falsehood? In this powerful chapter, Rushdoony unpacks a striking biblical law that treats slander between spouses not as a private offense, but a public crime with deep social consequences. Through careful legal analysis and real-world examples, he shows how marriage demands not just love but truth—and how a careless or malicious tongue can bring ruin not only to a home, but to the moral fabric of society itself.
