બેઠક Bethak

બાયડી નાતરે જાય ને ઘણી વેળાવા જાય.

bāyaḍī nātarē jāya nē ghaṇī vēḷāvā jāya.

Literally
The wife goes to remarry, and goes many times.
What it means
Once a boundary of propriety is crossed, it becomes easier to repeat the transgression repeatedly.

Also said as

  • બાયડી રડે ને ભાયડો ખાય તેમાં શું સારું કહેવાય?
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
