editThe plot description says that Sonia is raped by Sender. Is that really what happened? I just finished watching it, and I didn't interpret that as a rape scene at all. Sonia never said no or resisted, either physically or emotionally, and she seemed in a significant away to be enjoying it. Yes, she was certainly uncomfortable, but I never doubted while watching that the sex was consensual. I was actually pretty surprised to come here and read this article and see "rape" in there. I'm hesitant to just remove it myself because maybe I totally misunderstood it. Am I wrong about this? Seems to me that at least it's supposed to be ambiguous.
(An addendum: Just read Roger Ebert's review of the film, and he states the sex is rape. That detail of the article here is clearly lifted -- in fact, plagiarized -- from the Ebert review. Ebert is a respected source, but he certainly doesn't get every detail right every time.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.90.208.18 (talk) 04:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Please review and or revert as needed. Clarification of Jewish tradition; the quote 'price far above rubies' is a stanza from the weekly Sabbath table chant preceding the obligatory Shabbath toast (kiddush).
The title derives from a Jewish Sabbath tradition. The acrostic Sabbath chant The Woman of Valor (eishet chayil) which begins with the verse "... Who can find a woman of valor, her price is far above rubies ... ," which in turn is excerpted from The Book of Proverbs. This chant traditionally is a prelude to the weekly toast (kiddush) which begins the Sabbath meal.[1][2] B'H. 172.250.246.150 (talk) 19:09, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
