Hilchot Geirushin 9:8 (skip to Halacha 8)

Answer 8

It’s Rava’s own sevara: because of tznu’ot and prutzot

Ketubot 2b-3a

Question 9

Two explanations in the rishonim for YESH o’ness be’gittin are…

Per the Kovetz Shiurim

Answer 9

• Ran: umdanah, as though he added to his tenai that “didn’t come back be’ratzon”
• Ra’ah: Be’oness makes it like the kiyum hatenai was not done by HIM, so therefore tenai is battel

Kovetz Shiurim, Keubot 1-5

Question 14

Acc. to Rashi, what is the purpose of the man making the ta’anat betulim (Mishna 2a)?

Answer 14

• Man going to Beit Din will generate a kol

Ketubot 2a; see Rashi on the Mishna

Question 15

Acc. to Tosefot, what is the purpose of the man making the ta’anat betulim (Mishna 2a)?

Answer 15

• In a case of one safek, she will be assur to him (eshet kohen, and pechuta mi’bat gimmel)

Acc. to Rabbeinu Tam

Ketubot 2a; see Tosefot on the Mishna

Question 16

Why are we concerned in the Mishna (Ketubot 2a) about adultery, when usually we assume it is uncommon - “lo shkiach” (per Gittin 17a)?

Two answers from Tosefot

Answer 16

1. Adultery itself is NOT uncommon; it’s only uncommon to be done with eidim + warning
2. It IS uncommon, but even so, in the mishna we are trying to avoid a couple living together their whole lives in a state of issur.

Tosefot She’im haya lo, Ketubot 2a
