הָאוֹכֵל אֵצֶל חָמִיו בִּיהוּדָה שֶׁלֹּא בְעֵדִים — אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לִטְעוֹן טַעֲנַת בְּתוּלִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמִּתְיַחֵד עִמָּהּ. אַחַת אַלְמְנַת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַחַת אַלְמְנַת כֹּהֵן — כְּתֻבָּתָן מָנֶה. בֵּית דִּין שֶׁל כֹּהֲנִים הָיוּ גוֹבִין לִבְתוּלָה אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת זוּז, וְלֹא מִחוּ בְיָדָם חֲכָמִים.
[If] one eats in his father-in-law’s house in Judea without witnesses, he cannot lodge a claim concerning [her] virginity against her, because he secludes [himself] with her. Both the widow of a non-Kohen and the widow of a Kohen have a kesubah of one hundred [zuz]. The court of the Kohanim would collect four hundred zuz for a virgin, and the Sages did not stop them.
Kesuvos1: 6
הַנּוֹשֵׂא אֶת הָאִשָּׁה וְלֹא מָצָא לָהּ בְּתוּלִים, הִיא אוֹמֶרֶת: ,,מִשֶּׁאֵרַסְתַּנִי נֶאֱנַסְתִּי, וְנִסְתַּחֲפָה שָׂדֶךָ”; וְהַלָּה אוֹמֵר: ,,לֹא כִי, אֶלָּא עַד שֶׁלֹּא אֵרַסְתִּיךְ, וְהָיָה מִקָּחִי מִקַּח טָעוּת” — רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמְרִים: נֶאֱמֶנֶת. רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר: לֹא מִפִּיהָ אָנוּ חַיִּין. אֶלָּא הֲרֵי זוֹ בְּחֶזְקַת בְּעוּלָה עַד שֶׁלֹּא תִתְאָרֵס, וְהִטְעַתּוּ, עַד שֶׁתָּבִיא רְאָיָה לִדְבָרֶיהָ.
[If] one marries a woman and does not find [any tokens of] virginity —- she says: “After you betrothed me, I was violated, and your misfortune caused it”; and the other one says: “Not so, [it happened] before I betrothed you, and my acquisition was made in error” —- Rabban Gamliel and R’ Eliezer say: She is believed. R’ Yehoshua [however] says: She is not believed. Rather, it is presumed that she was a nonvirgin before she was betrothed, and [that] she misled him, until she proves her claim.
Kesuvos1: 7
הִיא אוֹמֶרֶת: ,,מֻכַּת עֵץ אֲנִי”, וְהוּא אוֹמֵר: ,,לֹא כִי, אֶלָּא דְּרוּסַת אִישׁ אַתְּ” — רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמְרִים: נֶאֱמֶנֶת. וְרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר: לֹא מִפִּיהָ אָנוּ חַיִּין. אֶלָּא הֲרֵי זוֹ בְּחֶזְקַת דְּרוּסַת אִישׁ, עַד שֶׁתָּבִיא רְאָיָה לִדְבָרֶיהָ.
[If] she says: “I was injured by a piece of wood,” and he says: “Not so, but you were deflowered by a man” —- Rabban Gamliel and R’ Eliezer say: She is believed. R’ Yehoshua, however, says: She is not believed. Rather, it is presumed that she had been de-flowered by a man, until she proves her claim.
Kesuvos1: 8
רָאוּהָ מְדַבֶּרֶת עִם אֶחָד בַּשּׁוּק, אָמְרוּ לָהּ: ,,מַה טִּיבוֹ שֶׁל זֶה”? ,,אִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי, וְכֹהֵן הוּא” — רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל וְרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמְרִים: נֶאֱמֶנֶת. וְרַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר: לֹא מִפִּיהָ אָנוּ חַיִּין. אֶלָּא הֲרֵי זוֹ בְּחֶזְקַת בְּעוּלָה לְנָתִין וּלְמַמְזֵר, עַד שֶׁתָּבִיא רְאָיָה לִדְבָרֶיהָ.
[If] they saw [a woman] talking with someone in the street, [and] they said to her: “What is the nature of this [man]?” [and she replied: “He is] so-and-so, and he is a Kohen” —- Rabban Gamliel and R’ Eliezer say: She is believed. R’ Yehoshua, however, says: She is not believed. Rather, it is presumed that she had been intimate with a Nesinite or with a mamzer, until she proves her claim.
