The text is divided into three parts, which are subdivided into several chapters. The first deals with the period before the wedding day, commenting on the proper age of women to marry, dowries, engagements, and the rights of a woman during her engagement. The second part deals with the roles and rights of men and women within a marriage, heritage agreements and remarriage. The third and last part deals with the dissolution of a marriage: justified and unjustified reasons for divorce, the punishment for unjustified divorce, remarrying after divorce and more.
