The Turkish woman is marriageable at the age of nine years, and by Turkish law, at that age, if married, she is competent to manage her property and dispose of one-third of her fortune. The Saw allows her to abandon her husband's House for just cause, and \rill protect her in so doing. She cannot be compelled to labor for the support of her husband. Though a birds runs on its legs that does not prove it cannot fly. A dog is wiser than a woman; he does not bark at his master.
