“There are only three duties to which all Pureblood females must be the most attentive. Firstly, she must obey the wishes and demands of her father and, upon her marriage, her husband. Secondly, she must remain chaste and virtuous, having known no man but her husband. And lastly, it is imperative that she birth her husband a son and heir. Above these, there are no higher virtues.”
