उत्तर
At the beginning of Act IV of the tempest, Prospero presents his daughter Miranda as a gift and something that Ferdinand has earned, further, he adds his concern about his daughter by saying he has gained one-third of his life and clearly instruct Ferdinand not to have sex with her before their marriage ceremony takes place because the heaven will not bless their relationship but will overwhelm them with hate, contempt and discord, and will poison their marriage bed. So he asks Ferdinand to be careful to respect the holy institution of marriage as Prospero wants her daughter to have a happy married life.
