"The woman can never act without the knowledge and consent of her husband. (...) If this is the perception of the law, then the law has six circles! Then the law is stupid, please! Then the law is a bachelor, please! If the eye of the law sees this, it sees wrong! And I just wish for him that the experience will open his eyes. Experience, sir! I can't wish him a greater punishment than that.

The woman can never act without the knowledge and consent of her husband. (...) If this is the perception of the law, then the law has six circles! Then the law is stupid, please! Then the law is a bachelor, please! If the eye of the law sees this, it sees wrong! And I just wish for him that the experience will open his eyes. Experience, sir! I can't wish him a greater punishment than that.
""Az asszony nem cselekedhetik soha az ura tudta és hozzájárulása nélkül. (...) Ha a törvénynek ez a felfogása, hát akkor a törvény hatökör! Akkor a törvény hülye, kérem! Akkor a törvény agglegény, kérem! Ha a törvény szeme ezt látja, hát rosszul lát! És én csak azt kívánom neki, hogy a tapasztalat nyissa ki a szemét. A tapasztalat, uram! Ennél nagyobb büntetést nem kívánhatok neki."
