A betrothed woman and a woman awaiting yibum neither drink nor do they receive [payment for] their marriage contract, as it is said: When a woman strays from under [the authority of] her husband —- to the exclusion of a betrothed woman and a woman awaiting yibum. A widow [married] to a Kohen Gadol, a divorcee or a woman who received chalitzah [married] to an ordinary Kohen, a mamzeress or a Nesinite [married] to an Israelite and an Israelite daughter [married] to a mamzer or Nesinite —- [these] neither drink nor receive [payment for] their marriage contract.

The following [women also] neither drink nor receive [payment for] their marriage contract: One who says, “I am defiled,” and one about whom witnesses testify that she is defiled, and one who says, “I will not drink.» [But] one whose husband said, “I will not give her to drink,” and one whose husband cohabited with her on the way, receives payment for her mar-riage contract but does not drink.  [If] their husbands died before they were able to drink —- Beis Shammai say: They receive [payment for] their marriage contract but do not drink. But Beis Hillel say: They neither drink nor receive [pay-ment for] their marriage contract.

A woman pregnant by a previous husband and a woman nursing her child by a previous husband neither drink nor receive [payment for] their marriage contract; these are the word of R’ Meir. [But] the Sages say: He can separate from her and take her back after a period of time. A sterile woman, or an old woman, or a woman who cannot bear children, neither drink nor receive [payment for] their marriage contract. R’ Eliezer says: He can marry another woman and be fruitful and multiply from her. All other women either drink or [they] do not receive [payment for] their marriage contract.

The wife of a Kohen may drink, and she is [then] permitted [to return] to her husband. The wife of a sterile man may drink. A warning can be issued [even] in respect to all those forbidden in marriage by reason of kinship, with the exception of a minor and one that is not human.
