mother-in-law. The daughter of her mother-in-law, Her rival, Her
sister-in-law and her husband`s daughter. Wherein lies the difference
between [the admissibility of] a letter of divorce and [that of the

If one wife said [`Her husband is] dead` and the other wife said, `He is not dead, the one who said, `He is dead` may marry again and she also receives her Kethubah, while the one who said, `He is not dead, may neither marry again nor is she to receive her Kethubah. If one wife stated, `He is dead` and the other stated. `He was killed`, R. Meir ruled: since they contradict one another they may not marry again. R. Judah and R. Simeon ruled: since both admit that he is not alive, both may marry again. If one witness stated, `He is dead`, and another witness stated. `He is not dead` , or if one woman stated. `He is dead`, and another woman stated, `He is not dead`, she may not marry again. |
