This, however, is not like the case of the man who says to his wife, “Every woman I marry besides you is divorced,” for a husband who already has a wife in his household is in no danger of hardship, and he remains free to divorce her and marry whomever he wishes. Yet if he tells his wife, “Every woman I marry during your lifetime is divorced,” the statement binds him for as long as she remains under his authority. Should he divorce her and then, while she is still alive, marry another woman, that woman too becomes divorced—unless by “during your lifetime” he meant “for as long as you remain in my wedlock” or “while you are my wife.” Conversely, if he says to a wife who is already in his wedlock, “Every woman I marry other than you is divorced,” nothing at all becomes binding upon him.
