Musar su Deuteronomio 22:13
כִּֽי־יִקַּ֥ח אִ֖ישׁ אִשָּׁ֑ה וּבָ֥א אֵלֶ֖יהָ וּשְׂנֵאָֽהּ׃
Se qualcuno prende una moglie, la raggiunge e la odia,
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
I shall now endeavor to explain these commandments in detail to the best of my ability: כי יקח איש אשה . The true sanctity of marriage, i.e. the acquisition of a wife and thereby sanctifying the joined lives of the partners, can be achieved only if the husband sanctifies himself at the time he engages in sexual intercourse with his wife. When their union is on such a level then man and wife symbolize the union between the emanation of תפארת and מלכות to which we have referred on page 1183. That union in turn symbolizes the highest level of union between the concept of כנסת ישראל and G–d. It encourages the merging of the still higher emanations חכמה and בינה, the root of the division between the male and the female. One "perfects" or "completes" the name of G–d by fulfilling the commandment to be fruitful and to multiply. The concepts of אב and אם symbolize the letters י-ה of the Ineffable Name, whereas the concept of בן and בת symbolize the letters ו-ה in that name. The name בן symbolizes the emanation תפארת, an outgrowth of the emanation חכמה, whereas the name בת symbolizes the emanation מלכות, which is the outgrowth of the parallel emanation בינה. By fulfilling the commandment of being fruitful a properly motivated זוג of a Jewish husband and wife helps bring about this union in the higher spheres. We know that the four-lettered Ineffable Name can be spelled in twelve different ways. The average year consists of twelve months. The Torah makes an allusion to the objective of every Jewish marriage both by giving the groom one year, i.e. twelve months, to establish such a marriage and also by freeing him from his communal duties.

Shemirat HaLashon
(Devarim 22:13): "If a man takes a wife and he comes upon her, and he hates her, (19): and he libels her and gives out about her an evil name, and he says: 'I took this woman and I drew near to her, and I did not find virginity in her'… (22:18): and the elders of the city shall take the man and they shall chastise him." Our sages of blessed memory have said that he receives stripes, having transgressed "You shall not go talebearing."
