Namaste,

I know in the Manusmṛti it says:

“He who permits the slaughter of an animal, he who cuts it up, he who kills it, he who buys or sells meat, he who cooks it, he who serves it up, and he who eats it, must all be considered as the slayers of the animal.” (5:51)
I am transitioning to vegetarianism (successful for about a week now). But my wife is not vegetarian. She isn't sure if she will be, but for now she is not.

What do I do if she wants to purchase meat? She likes lunch meat for instance, for sandwiches. Our funds are all combined into one bank account, so all money is equally both of ours.

Help would be appreciated.
