SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:4
La mujer no tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino el marido; e igualmente tampoco el marido tiene potestad de su propio cuerpo, sino la mujer.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 7:4
Verse 4. The wife hath not power, &c.] Her person belongs to her husband; her husband's person belongs to her: neither of them has any authority to refuse what the other has a matrimonial right to demand. The woman that would act so is either a knave or a fool. It would be trifling to attribute her conduct to any other cause than weakness or folly. She does not love her husband; or she loves some one else better than her husband; or she makes pretensions to a fancied sanctity unsupported by Scripture or common sense.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. The wife hath not power of her own body , etc.] To refrain the use of it from her husband; or to prostitute it to another man: but the husband ; he has the sole power over it, and may require when he pleases the use of it: and likewise also the husband has not power over his own body : to withhold due benevolence, or the conjugal debt from his wife; or abuse it by self-pollution, fornication, adultery, sodomy, or any acts of uncleanness: but the wife; she only has a power over it, a right to it, and may claim the use of it: this power over each others bodies is not such, as that they may, by consent, either the husband allow the wife, or the wife the husband, to lie with another.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The apostle tells the Corinthians that it was good, in that juncture of time, for Christians to keep themselves single. Yet he says tha marriage, and the comforts of that state, are settled by Divine wisdom Though none may break the law of God, yet that perfect rule leaves me at liberty to serve him in the way most suited to their powers an circumstances, of which others often are very unfit judges. All mus determine for themselves, seeking counsel from God how they ought to act.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
7:4 {The wife} (he gune). The wife is mentioned first, but the equality of the sexes in marriage is clearly presented as the way to keep marriage undefiled (#Heb 13:4). "In wedlock separate ownership of the person ceases" (Robertson and Plummer).
