[If a woman states]. `a brother-in-law was given to me [while I was] in a country beyond the sea`, and she also states, `my husband died and afterwards my brother-in-law died or `my brother-in-law died and afterwards my husband died`, she is believed. If a woman and her husband and her brother-in-law went to a country beyond the sea, and she [on returning home] stated, `my husband died and afterwards my brother-in-law [died]` or `my brother-in-law [died] and afterwards my husband [died]`. she is not believed; for a woman is not to be believed when she asserts `my brother-in-law is dead`, in order that she may marry again. Nor [when she states that] Her sister is dead. In order that she may enter his house. A man also is not believed when he asserts `my brother is dead`, so that he may contract levir` ate marriage with his wife, nor [when he asserts that] his wife is dead, in order that he may marry her sister. |
יבמות 15.10 |
A woman whose husband and rival went to a country beyond the sea, and to whom people came and said, `your husband is dead`, must neither marry again nor contract Levirate marriage until she has ascertained whether her rival is pregnant. If she had a mother-in-law she need not apprehend [the possibility of the birth of another son]; but if she departed while pregnant [such possibility] must be taken into consideration. R. Joshua ruled; she need not apprehend [such a possibility]. |
