Forsaking Her Husband
The Seductress can take many forms. She can be a single woman or a married woman. In this particular case, we learn that the Seductress has forsaken the companion of her youth1.
Now, it’s certainly true that we live in a much different society than when Proverbs was written. In that day, women and men were betrothed—so the percentages of married women was much higher than today. They also got married a whole lot earlier—much closer to puberty—such that there were not an abundance of single women around.
