This happens especially in the case of marriages between couples who are of different rank and condition (on which see 250 above). For instance, when a man marries a wealthy wife, and she hoards her cash in purses or her treasures in safe deposits; even more so, if she boldly insists that it is her husband's duty to maintain the household out of his own resources and income. It is common knowledge that this results in a forced pretence of a kind of conjugial love. The results are similar when he marries a wife, whose parents, relatives and friends hold high office, have profitable trading interests or are engaged in commerce, so that they can arrange for her to be better off. It is generally known that this situation too leads to the pretence of a kind of conjugial love. It is obvious that both of these cases are due to the fear of losing these advantages.
