A widow is to be maintained out of the estate of [Her deceased husband`s] orphans [and] Her handiwork belongs to them. It is not their duty, however, to bury her; it is the duty of her heirs, even those who inherit her Kethubah, to bury her. |

A widow, whether [Her husband died] after [Her] betrothal or after [Her] marriage may sell [of her deceased husband`s estate] without [the sanction of] Beth Din. R. Simeon ruled: [if her husband died] after marriage she may sell [of his estate] without [the sanction of] Beth Din, [but if only] after [Her] betrothal, she may not sell [any of the estate] except with [the sanction of] Beth Din, since she is not entitled to maintenance, and one who is not entitled to maintenance may not sell [such property] except with [the sanction of] Beth Din. |
