Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English TranslationPatividveṣiṇī (पतिविद्वेषिणी) refers to a “woman who hates her husband”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.54 (“Description of the duties of the chaste wife”).—Accordingly, as a Brahmin lady said to Pārvatī: “[...] She shall not talk to any woman who disparages or hates her husband (patividveṣiṇī). She shall not stand alone anywhere nor shall she take bath in the nude. A chaste lady shall never sleep on a mortar threshing rod, a broom, a grinding stone, a machine or on the threshold. Except at the time of sexual intercourse she shall never show her maturity and initiative. She shall like whatever her husband is interested in. [...]”.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
