Mishnayos Gittin Perek 8 Mishnah 7

גיטין פרק ח׳ משנה ז׳

7

Similarly, with regard to one who marries his yevama, and her rival wife went and got married to another man, and it was found that this yevama was a sexually underdeveloped woman, the rival wife must leave this man whom she remarried and that yavam, i.e., she cannot enter into levirate marriage with him. Because the yevama was a sexually underdeveloped woman, the obligation of levirate marriage never applied to her, and her levirate marriage did not exempt her rival wife. And all of those aforementioned ways of penalizing a woman who remarried based on the bills of divorce detailed in the earlier clause of the mishna apply to her in this case as well.

הַכּוֹנֵס אֶת יְבִמְתּוֹ וְהָלְכָה צָרָתָהּ וְנִשֵּׂאת לְאַחֵר וְנִמְצְאָה זֹאת שֶׁהִיא אַיְלוֹנִית, תֵּצֵא מִזֶּה וּמִזֶּה וְכָל הַדְּרָכִים הָאֵלּוּ בָהּ:

ונשאת לאחר – since we establish for us that the sexual act of the one exempts her associate co-wife.

ונמצאת זו – who had been married by the dead-husband’s brother was found to be incapable of bearing children, her act of marrying her dead-husband’s brother is not effective, and she did not exempt her associate wives and went to the marketplace to get married without the ceremony of the removal of the shoe of her dead-husband’s brother [who refused to marry her].

תצא מזה ומזה – [she should leave] this husband and from her first brother-in-law.

ונשאת לאחר. דקיי״ל ביאת האחת פוטרת צרתה:

ונמצאת זו. שנתיבמה אילונית, ואין יבומיה יבומין. ונמצא שלא נפטרה צרתה ונשאת לשוק בלא חליצה:

תצא מזה ומזה. מבעל זה ומיבמה הראשון:
