Wafe          (From Widget Athena front end) A package by       Gustaf Neumann implementing a       symbolic interface to the {Athena} {widgets} and       {OSF}/{Motif}.   A typical Wafe {application} consists of two       parts: a front-end (Wafe) and an application program which       runs as a separate process.   The distribution contains sample       application programs in {Perl}, {GAWK}, {Prolog}, {TCL}, {C},       and {Ada} talking to the same Wafe binary.          The current Wafe version is 1.0.15. It supports Athena as       distributed with {X} releases 4-6 and Motif versions 1.1, 1.2,       and 2.0 but new distribution are only tested against {X}       releases 5 and 6, and Motif versions 1.2.4 and 2.0.          {HOME (http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/wafe)},       {(ftp://ftp.wu-wien.ac.at/pub/src/X11/wafe/)}.          Mailing list: listserv@wu-wien.ac.at ("subscribe Wafe       Name>").          (1996-07-09)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Wife       The ordinance of marriage was sanctioned in Paradise (Gen. 2:24;       Matt. 19:4-6). Monogamy was the original law under which man       lived, but polygamy early commenced (Gen. 4:19), and continued       to prevail all down through Jewish history. The law of Moses       regulated but did not prohibit polygamy. A man might have a       plurality of wives, but a wife could have only one husband. A       wife's legal rights (Ex. 21:10) and her duties (Prov. 31:10-31;       1 Tim. 5:14) are specified. She could be divorced in special       cases (Deut. 22:13-21), but could not divorce her husband.       Divorce was restricted by our Lord to the single case of       adultery (Matt. 19:3-9). The duties of husbands and wives in       their relations to each other are distinctly set forth in the       New Testament (1 Cor. 7:2-5; Eph. 5:22-33; Col. 3:18, 19; 1 Pet.       3:1-7).
