kiddushin 82

it's all about the boy.
if he has to work for a living (he's not an animal), then he shouldn't grow up to do anything dirty, demeaning, arrogant or improper.
So keep him away from women, robbers and others who would lead him astray.
Teach him something lasting - TORAH!

failing that, embroidery.

kiddushin 81

beware of being alone with a strange and beautiful woman.
she might be Satan, or your wife in disguise.
either way, she's the path to a fiery end.

and she would most definitely, obviously, consent to sex with an old, pious torah scholar.

kiddushin 80

lets presume that it's all OK.
- she's the wife
- those are the kids
- the dough is FINE
ALL IS OK

and the torah scholars are completely FINE and OK to be alone with a woman.
a lone, vulnerable, woman.
SHE WILL BE FINE.


kiddushin 79

now she is "all grown up" she is choosy about who to marry.

so is her father, but he cares about the type of family who his little girl is joining.

- so is the grown woman like:
an insufficient mivkeh
or regretted dying wishes
wine that has turned to vinegar?

kiddushin 78

men and their seed.
what formed them
who they formed

and are they trusted to identify their seed.

kiddushin 77

how many times can a woman be branded and labelled as unsuitable for the man in high places who continues to sin with her?

kiddushin 76

investigating the family trees.
the people can't possibly be led by anyone with a flaw.

and the perfectly beautiful boys who go ahead in battle to scare and intimidate the enemy.

because there is nothing more terrifying than a pretty boy.
