The man comes to her house after the marriage, either begging or to see her. He offers for her, in one variants saying he will kill her husband. She poisons their wine and is careful not to drink any from her cup. While he is dying, she tells him she will arrange for his proper burial, which is more than he would have done for her. than when he dies she rapes him while he is lying on his death bed.
