About this episode
Today's daf is sponsored by Jason, Erica, and Raquel in honor of their mother, Patty Belkin on her birthday yesterday. "Wishing a very happy birthday to our amazing mother!" Ulla held that if a minor girl accepted a betrothal and her father did not react, the betrothal is completely invalid. Two sources (a Mishna and a braita) are brought to raise a difficulty with his ruling, but the difficulties are resolved. Rav and Shmuel ruled that there is a doubt to whether or not the father agreed and therefore she must receive a get and do mi'un in order to be able to marry someone else. If the man who betrothed her died, and she became obligated in levirate marriage with the brother, and he performed maamar , Rav held that she needs to receive a get , perform chalitza and do mi'un with the brother of her deceased husband. If a father arranged a betrothal for his son, is there concern that perhaps the son agreed, just as there is concern that perhaps a father agreed to his minor daughter's betrothal? A story is told about a father who disagreed with his wife as to whether to marry off their daughter to his or her relatives. In the end, he conceded to his wife to marry her off to her relative, but at the betrothal ceremony, one of his relatives betrothed her in the attic. Is there concern that the father was pleased with this as it was his original desire? What is the ruling if a minor was betrothed by her father but then married him without the father's knowledge when the father was out of town? Can she eat truma if her husband is a kohen ? How would the ruling be different if the father was in town and did not say anything when he heard of the marriage?
