Book 2
“The Man shall be liable for all physical assaults performed against him by the Woman, and evading such assaults shall constitute ‘bullying’. Constantly stating that she has no future with the Man, shall NOT construe a repudiation of the Woman’s claim on said Man. Any other woman who takes her at her word and does something nice for the Man may forfeit all further friendly contact from the Woman.”
The physical assault bit is presumably about the time Egwene jumped on Rand and sat on him, and channeled fire incompetently to coerce him, and ended up blaming Rand anyway because he didn't let it happen.
The woman who did something nice for Rand is probably Min, who got in bed with Rand while he was unconscious and freezing (and dying) and Egwene hasn't spoken to her since, I think...
Book 6
“Where DO you get your information from? A man shall be free to engage in as much sexual dalliance as he wishes, no matter how immoral by his native cultural standards, as long as the women in question are consenting! Unless some other woman at some other time who is now thousands of miles away focusing on a career that is legally inimical to her relationship with the man. In that case, the man shall be faithful to her, or her friends will know the reason why.”
The second part is about Gawyn. The first part, I'm not sure, but I think is about Rand.
Book 7
“Age limits? What? Age limits only forbid relationships where BOTH parties consent. In a relationship where the older, more experienced and worldly wise party believes their relationship will not be healthy for the generation-younger, inexperienced and parochial other party, any age limit shall be ignored at the discretion of the younger party’s virginal teenage friend, who may abuse her lawful authority over the reluctant party to compel him to put himself in the other person’s hands. This should all be very clear to you by now. The Laws of Relationships cannot understand why you still need explanations.”
Lan is the older man who thinks his relationship to Nynaeve is doomed and can't inflict the pain of loss upon her. The virginal teenage friend is Egwene.

"He should wear ram's horns like a Trolloc!" Pg 304, when Min asks "Is Rand well?" Skank.
