A Woman Selling Olives

One may purchase olives in small amounts
from women in the Upper Galilee, where
olives are exceptionally expensive.
As at times, a person is embarrassed to
sell olives at the entrance of his house,
and so he gives some olives to his wife,
and she sells them instead of him.

Since there is a reason to presume that the
women have been given the right to sell
the olives by their husbands, and it is
unlikely that the women would sell them
without permission, as even a small amount
missing would be noticed due to their
great value, it may be assumed that the
olives are being sold with permission.
