Audio by Dr. Michael Sokolow

A woman who went with her husband to a country beyond the sea, Her son also [going] with them, and who came back and stated, `my husband died and afterwards my son died`, is believed. [If, however, she stated.] `my son died and afterwards my husband died`, she is not believed, but note is taken of her assertion and she must, therefore, perform halizah and may not contract the Levirate marriage. 

יבמות 15.8 
האישה שהלכה היא ובעלה ובנה למדינת הים, באת ואמרה מת בעלי, ואחר כך מת בני-- נאמנת׃ מת בני, ואחר כך מת בעלי-- אינה נאמנת; וחוששין לדבריה-- חולצת, ולא מתייבמת

[If a woman states]. `a son was given to me [while I was] in a country beyond the sea` and she also asserts, `my son died and afterwards my husband died`, she is believed. [If, however, she states]. `my husband died and afterwards my son died. She is not believed, but note is taken of her assertion and she must, therefore, perform halizah but may not contract Levirate marriage.

 יבמות 15.9
ניתן לי בן במדינת הים-- אמרה מת בני, ואחר כך מת בעלי-- נאמנת׃ מת בעלי, ואחר כך מת בני-- אינה נאמנת; וחוששין לדבריה-- חולצת, ולא מתייבמת
