Storia do Mogor 272: Daulatabad [Nizam Shahis].

272

The kingdom of Daulatabad was given to another of his (Ram Raja's) slaves, named Nizam Shah, an African or Habshi. After he had been crowned, it happened that a woman came to complain that she was not satisfied with her husband. [428] She said he was old and incapable of satisfying her pleasures. The new king ordered her to turn the man out of the house and take another who could content her. She acted accordingly. He then ordered that as many wives as were not satisfied with their husbands might seek for others. As a matter of fact, many women did this. His queen hearing of these orders (for she had more sense than her husband) observed that such an order was unjust, and to prove to His Majesty that he had given a wrong decision, she placed herself at a window and sat there within sight of her husband.
When she saw a young and well-built horseman pass by, she said to the king : ' I want you to give me the right to eject you and take this cavalier, in order that my desires may be satisfied.' The king, in consternation at such talk, and quite forgetting the orders he had given, said to her in anger and amazement : ' O Queen ! you were always wise in your utterances ! and you prove you are gone out of your mind.' The careful queen responded : ' Your Majesty gives me an opening to demonstrate to Your Majesty the feelings of the husbands at seeing their wives choose other husbands.' She gave him a long talking to about the error he had made. Finally, she said to him that if women had the privilege of changing husbands, they would be sure to do so often, necessarily giving rise to many disorders in families. All that she said was solely with the object of getting the matter remedied. The king then issued orders that wives must live with their husbands, and remain under an obligation to serve them for the whole of their lives.
This line of kings did not last long, because the Moguls conquered their country.
