What does Genesis 16:6 mean?

Abram told Sarai, She’s your servant—do whatever you think is right. So Sarai started treating Hagar harshly, and Hagar ran away. Genesis 16:6 - Modern Text Bible

(Abram distances himself from the conflict, leaving Sarai to handle it. Sarai’s harshness drives Hagar to flee.)
