yevamot 109

until the orphaned girl becomes a woman
her husband has no claim on her
and she can still say no.

even if she regrets it later, he cannot force his claim on her before time.
(unlike those Shetziyyon guarantors, who claim a debt before it is due)

yevamot 108

until she becomes a woman
the girl can always walk out
when she realises the realities of being a wife.

yevamot 107

the girl who refuses to marry
will eventually grow up
and become the woman who must.

yevamot 106

the woman who does not want to marry
has to hope that her brother-in-law doesn't know the law,
and will listen and be tricked by the all-powerful judges,
that she hopes are on her side

yevamot 105

fathers & sons

not everyone can step over the holy scholars
only the one who had learnt from his father about children's vows,
but the man who tried to control access to knowledge,
was put in his place, tainted.
and his children suffer the consequences, like the children, and children's children, of Eli.

yevamot 104

imprisoned by not opening her mouth
how important is it to spit or to speak when you have the show to your freedom

the ceremony of halitza involves her reciting a text, removing his shoe and then spitting at him. it is debated on this page if all three things need to happen and need to happen in this order. 

yevamot 103

she must remove that which is firmly fixed on the ground.
- unless if it was used in the service of another who is still contaminated by the snake.

discussed on this page is the use of a wooden leg as a shoe for an amputee in halitza. that the foot should be firmly on the ground. and the shoe should not have been an object used for idolatry. also on this page is a statement from R. Yohanan, Eve had sex with the snake, contaminated humanity. It was only at Sinai did the contamination lift from Israel.
