Mishnah Niddah 10:1: Regarding a female child whose time to see [her signs of maturity] has not yet come, if she was married, Beit Shammai say: we give her four nights [during which we assume her blood is virginal blood and not menstrual blood]. Beit Hillel say: until the wound is healed. If her time to see [her signs of maturity] has come and she is then married, Beit Shammai say: we give her the first night [during which her blood is still assumed to be virginal blood]. And Beit Hillel say: we give her four nights, until the end of Shabbat [i.e. since virgins are supposed to be wed on Wednesday]. If she sees [blood] while she is still in her father's house [i.e. before she is married], Beit Shammai say: we grant her the intercourse that is a mitzvah [i.e. the first time with her husband]; and Beit Hillel say: the entire night is hers. |

Mishnah Niddah 10:2: If a niddah [a woman who has menstrual discharges which render her impure] examined herself on the seventh day [of her being a niddah] in the morning and found she was pure, and at twilight she did not [examine herself again before immersing in order to] separate [from her period of being a niddah in certain purity], and after some days she examined herself and found she was impure, she is thereby presumed to have been pure [from the night she immersed until the moment she found she was impure]. If she examined herself on the seventh day in the morning and found she was impure, and at twilight she did not [examine herself again before immersing in order to] separate [in certain purity], and after some time she examined herself and found she was pure, she is thereby assumed to have been impure [the entire time, and any pure items she handled in the interim are thereby impure]. And [in any case, when she finds herself to be impure] she renders impurity [retroactively] from that time to that time [on the previous day, i.e. twenty-four hours earlier], and from [the previous] examination to [the latest] examination. And if she has a regular cycle [when she finds she is impure], her hour suffices [to reckon the period of her impurity from that moment]. Rabbi Yehuda says: anyone who did not separate [from her period of being a niddah] in purity, from midday [on the seventh day] or later [i.e. she did not examine herself during that time to verify her purity], is thereby presumed to be impure. And the Sages say: even if she examined herself and found she was pure on the second day of her being a niddah, and at twilight she did not [examine herself again in order to] separate [from her period of being a niddah in certain purity], and after some time she examined herself and found she was impure, she is thereby presumed to have been pure [from her prior examination until the moment she found she was impure]. |
