[A wife] who was pregnant by a former husband or was suckling a child by a former husband does not drink and does not receive the marriage-settlement. Such is the statement of R. Meir; but the Rabbis declare that he is able to separate from her and take her back after the period [of two years]. A woman incapable of conception, one too old to bear children, and one who is unfit to bear children do not receive the marriage-settlement and do not drink. R. Eliezer says: He is able to marry another wife and have offspring by her. As for all other women, they either drink or do not receive the marriage-settlement. |

The wife of a priest drinks and is permitted to her husband. The wife of a eunuch drinks. Through [seclusion with] all persons forbidden to her in marriage jealousy [necessitating the ordeal] is established with the exception of a minor and one not a man. |
