The friend covers up this adulterous act and thus not only endangers her own good reputation, but also her own life ...

classification
“It is remarkable how taking sides for love and against marriage is expressed in the solidarity of women shown, so that not only traditional morality takes a back seat, but the figure of the husband also appears ridiculous. The story is largely told from the point of view of women. "
