| roma woman who left her husband and returned to her parents run-home-to Daddy wife Explanation: We don't really have one word in English for this to my knowledge and it's a very different culture but people do talk about wives running home to Daddy (rather than "parents") at the first hiccough or sign of trouble in their marriage and it's kind of said in a pejorative way or you could use "unfaithful wife" though that can also mean a woman having an affair so not quite the same https://books.google.ie/books?id=F2ECDLDfJgsC&pg=PT17&lpg=PT... https://books.google.ie/books?id=0pGWBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA248&lpg=P... https://books.google.ie/books?id=th2HDmYvCmkC&pg=PA20&lpg=PA... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2017-10-09 11:11:26 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- run-home-to-Daddy -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2017-10-09 11:13:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- extra hyphen needed run-home-to-Daddy wife. Or, you could probably use the Serbian phrase and use this as explanation -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 45 mins (2017-10-09 11:17:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- glad it helps |
