Sirach 7:24-26
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
24 Do you have daughters? Be concerned for their chastity,[a]
and do not show yourself too indulgent with them.
25 Give a daughter in marriage, and you complete a great task;
but give her to a sensible man.
26 Do you have a wife who pleases you?[b] Do not divorce her;
but do not trust yourself to one whom you detest.
