R' Yehoshua said: I have heard that the saris performs chalitzah and that chali- tzah is performed with his wife; and [I have also heard] that the saris does not perform chalitzah and that chalitzah is not performed with his wife —- and I cannot explain [it]. R' Akiva said: I will explain [it]. The [person rendered a] saris by [an act of] man performs chalitzah and chalitzah is performed with his wife, because he had a period of suitability; the congenital saris does not perform chalitzah and chalitzah is not performed with his wife, because he had no period of suitability. R' Eliezer says: Not so; rather the congenital saris performs chalitzah and chalitzah is performed with his wife, since he may be cured; the [person rendered a] saris by [an act of] man does not perform chalitzah and chalitzah is not performed with his wife, since he cannot be cured. R' Yehoshua ben Beseira testified about ben Megusas, [who lived] in Jerusalem, [who was] a [person rendered a] saris by [an act of] man, and yibum was performed with his wife, supporting R' Akiva's statement.

The saris does not perform chalitzah or yibum. Similarly, the ailonis does not perform chalitzah, nor may she be taken in yibum. The saris who performed chalitzah with his yevamah did not prohibit her. [If] he cohabited with her, he prohibited her, because it was an illicit cohabitation. Similarly with an ailonis —- [if] the brothers performed chalitzah with her, they did not prohibit her. [If] they cohabited with her, they prohibited her, because cohabitation with her is illicit.

A congenital saris [who was a] Kohen who married the daughter of a Yisrael entitles her to eat terumah. R' Yose and R' Shimon say: An androgynous Kohen who married the daughter of a Yisrael entitles her to eat terumah. R' Yehudah says: A tumtum who was opened and found to be a male cannot perform chalitzah, since he is considered a saris. The androgyne may marry, but may not be taken in marriage. R' Eliezer says: [Cohabitation with] the androgyne is punishable by stoning as with a male.

There are some [women] who are permitted to their husbands but forbidden to their yavam; [some who are] permitted to their yavam but forbidden to their husbands; [some who are] permit- ted to both; and [some who are] forbidden to both.  These are [the ones] permitted to their husbands but forbidden to their yavam: an ordinary Kohen who married a widow, and who has a brother [who is] Kohen Gadol; a chalal who married a qualified woman, and who has a brother [who is a] qualified [Kohen]; a Yisrael who married the daughter of a Yisrael, and who has a brother [who is] a mamzer; a mamzer who married a mamzeress, and who has a brother [who is] a Yisrael —- [these are] permitted to their husbands but forbidden to their yavam.

These are [the ones] permitted to their yavam but forbidden to their husbands: A Kohen Gadol who betrothed a widow, and who has a brother [who is] an ordinary Kohen; a qualified Kohen who married a chalalah, and who has a brother [who is] a chalal; a Yisrael who married a mamzeress, and who has a brother [who is] a mamzer; a mamzer who married the daughter of a Yisrael who has a brother [who is] a Yisrael —- [these are] permitted to their yavam, but forbidden to their husbands.  [These are the ones] forbidden to both: A Kohen Gadol who married a widow and who has a brother [who is either] a Kohen Gadol or an ordinary Kohen; a qualified Kohen who married a chalalah and who has a brother [who is] qualified; a Yisrael who married a mamzeress and who has a brother [who is] a Yisrael; a mamzer who married the daughter of a Yisrael and who has a brother [who is] a mamzer —- [these are] forbidden to both. All other women are permitted to their husbands and to their yavam.

Secondary [arayos], by Rabbinical decree —- [if a woman is] a secondary [ervah] to the husband but not to the yavam, she is forbidden to the husband but permitted to the yavam. [If she is] a secondary [ervah] to the yavam but not to the husband, she is forbidden to the yavam but permitted to the husband. [If she is] a secondary [ervah] to both, she is forbidden to both. She receives neither the kesubah, nor usufructs, nor sustenance, nor worn-out property, but their child is legitimate; and we compel him to divorce [her].  A widow [married] to a Kohen Gadol, a divorcee or chalutzah [married] to an ordinary Kohen, a mamzeress or Nesinite [married] to a Yisrael, or the daughter of a Yisrael [married] to a Nesinite or to a mamzer —- they receive their kesubah.

[If] the daughter of a Yisrael was betrothed to a Kohen, [or] pregnant by a Kohen, [or] awaiting yibum to a Kohen —- and similarly, the daughter of a Kohen to a Yisrael —- she may not eat terumah.  [If] the daughter of a Yisrael was betrothed to a Levi, [or] pregnant by a Levi, [or] awaiting yibum to a Levi —- and similarly, the daughter of a Levi to a Yisrael —- she may not eat the tithe.  [If] the daughter of a Levi was betrothed to a Kohen, [or] pregnant by a Kohen, or awaiting yibum to a Kohen —- and similarly, the daughter of a Kohen to a Levi —- she may not eat terumah or the tithe.

[If] the daughter of a Yisrael married a Kohen, she may eat terumah; [if] he died and she has a child by him, she may eat terumah. [If] she [then] married a Levi, she may eat the tithe; [if] he died and she has a child by him, she may eat the tithe. [If] she [then] married a Yisrael, she may not eat terumah or the tithe; [if] he died and she has a child by him, she may not eat terumah or the tithe. [If] her child by the Yisrael died, she may eat the tithe; [if] her child by the Levi died, she may eat terumah. [If] her child by the Kohen died, she may not eat terumah or the tithe.

[If] the daughter of a Kohen married a Yisrael, she may not eat terumah; [if] he died and she has a child by him, she may not eat terumah. [If] she [then] married a Levi, she may eat the tithe; [if] he died and she has a child by him, she may eat the tithe. [If] she [then] married a Kohen, she may eat terumah; [if] he died and she has a child by him, she may eat terumah. [If] her child by the Kohen died, she may not eat terumah; [if] her child by the Levi died, she may not eat the tithe; [if] her child by the Yisrael died, she returns to her father's house. Concerning this it was said (Leviticus 22:13): ... she returns to her father's house as in her youth, [and] she may eat from her father's bread.

A woman whose husband went overseas, and they came and told her, “Your husband died,” and she married, and afterward her husband came [back] —- she must leave both of them, and she needs [to receive] a bill of divorce from each, and she receives neither the kesubah [payment], nor [payment for] the fruits, nor sustenance, nor worn property [payment] from either; if she took [payment] from either, she must return [it]. [Her] child by either is a mamzer, neither of them may contaminate himself to her, and neither has rights to her found objects, or the products of her labor, or the nullification of her vows. [If] she was the daughter of a Yisrael, she is disqualified from [marrying into] the priesthood; [if] the daughter of a Levi, [she is disqualified] from [eating] the tithe, and [if] the daughter of a Kohen, [she is disqualified] from [eating] terumah. The heirs of both [men] do not inherit her kesubah. If they should die, the brother of each performs chalitzah, but not yibum. R' Yose says: Her kesubah [claim] is on her first husband's property. R' Elazar says: The first one has the rights to her found objects, the products of her labor, and the nullification of her vows. R' Shimon says: Cohabitation or chalitzah with the first one's brother releases her co-wife, and her child by him is not a mamzer. If she married without sanction [of the court], she may return to him.
