    It has everything to do with an abortion. How else do you think the husband would think the wife had an affair other than she is pregnant and shouldn’t be?

      Give me the ingredients.

      It’s got nothing to do with removing the baby. It’s basically torturing her with dirty water. It says nothing of a prevented pregnancy.

        No, the potion (lets call magic what it is) is meant to abort the baby if it isn’t the husband’s. If she doesn’t abort then it is his. This section has nothing to do with preventing pregnancy. The whole point is the man thinks the woman is carrying another man’s baby.

        The ingredients are a lousy abortifacient, because it’s really more of a magic ceremony. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s intended to trigger an abortion, if the husband is not the father.
