The commandment is for the eldest to perform yibum. [If] he was unwilling [to do so], we approach all the [other] brothers; [if] they were unwilling, we return to the eldest and say to him: “The mitzvah is [incumbent] upon you —- perform either chalitzah or yibum!”

[If] he deferred to a minor until he becomes of age, or to the eldest until he arrives from overseas, or to a deaf-mute or to an idiot, we do not listen to him; but we say to him: “The mitzvah is [incumbent] upon you —- perform either chalitzah or yibum!”

One who performs chalitzah with his yevamah remains equal to the [other] brothers with respect to the inheritance. If there is a father, the estate belongs to the father.  One who marries his yevamah gains ownership of his brother's estate. R' Yehudah says: In any case, if there is a father, the estate belongs to the father.  One who performs chalitzah with is yevamah is forbidden to [marry] her relatives and she is forbid- den to [marry] his. He is forbidden to her mother, mother's mother, father's mother, daughter, daughter's daughter, son's daughter, and to her sister dur- ing her lifetime; the brothers, however, are permit- ted. She is forbidden to his father, father's father, son, son's son, brother, and brother's son.  A man is permitted to [marry] the relative of his chalutzah's co-wife, but is forbidden to [marry] the co-wife of his chalutzah's relative.

[If] one performed chalitzah with his yevamah, and [then] his brother married her sister and died, she requires chalitzah but may not be taken in yibum. Similarly, if someone divorced his wife, and [then] his brother married her sister and died, she is released from chalitzah and from yibum.
