Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.
#proverbs 31:23
Why is this statement about a man in the gates placed in the middle of a chapter about the ideal wife? Because without her, he wouldn't be there. A man's reputation and standing in the community is directly related to his wife's competence, wisdom, and support. Be very careful in your choice of a mate. A good woman can make your life amazing. A bad woman can make your life miserable.

If a priest's daughter marries a layman [any man who is not a priest], she shall not eat of the contribution of the holy things.
Leviticus 22:12
A priest's daughter doesn't need to marry another priest or even a Levite, but if she marries a non-priest, she can no longer share in the offerings that belong to the priest's family. This is because a woman joins her husband's people when she marries. She is no longer part of her father's household, clan, or tribe. God's blueprint for families is thoroughly patriarchal, and this is not a result of the Fall.
A childless widow or divorced woman in ancient Israel was expected to return to her father's house, but that wasn't a command. By implication, if she had children, she was expected to remain with her husband's people. (See v23.)
A lay person shall not eat of a holy thing; no foreign guest of the priest or hired worker shall eat of a holy thing, but if a priest buys a slave as his property for money, the slave may eat of it, and anyone born in his house may eat of his food.
Leviticus 22:10-11
In #torah, a slave has a higher status than a hireling in some respects. That might seem strange, but it's important not to interpret Scripture through the lens of our own culture.
