“ʻOku hanga ʻe ha ongo ʻuhinga fakatokāteline mālohi ʻo fakamahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ʻa e mali taʻengatá ʻi he palani ʻa e Tamaí.
“ ʻUhinga 1: ʻOku fefakakakatoʻaki pea mo fefakahaohaoaʻaki ʻe he natula ʻo e laumālie ʻo e tangatá mo e fefiné, pea ko ia ai ʻoku fakataumuʻa ke fakalakalaka fakataha ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné ki he hakeakiʻí. …
“Fakatatau mo e palani faka-ʻOtuá, ʻoku fakataumuʻa ke fakalakalaka fakataha ʻa e tangatá mo e fefiné ki he haohaoá mo ha nāunauʻia kakato. Koeʻuhí ko e mahino hona natulá mo e meʻa ʻokú na malavá, ʻoku ʻomi ai ʻe he tangata mo e fefine takitaha ki he nofo malí ha ngaahi fakakaukau mo ha ngaahi taukei makehe.

Tali ‘a e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ‘ení ‘i hoʻo tohinoa ako folofolá:
ʻE fēfē hano uesia ʻe he mahino ʻoku mahuʻinga ʻa e mali fakasilesitialé ki he hakeakiʻí ʻa e meʻa te ke fekumi ki ai ʻi haʻo mali ʻi he kahaʻú?
