Talmud for Gittin 8:6

כָּל הָעֲרָיוֹת שֶׁאָמְרוּ צָרוֹתֵיהֶן מֻתָּרוֹת, הָלְכוּ הַצָּרוֹת הָאֵלּוּ וְנִשְּׂאוּ וְנִמְצְאוּ אֵלּוּ אַיְלוֹנִיּוֹת, תֵּצֵא מִזֶּה וּמִזֶּה, וְכָל הַדְּרָכִים הָאֵלּוּ בָהּ:

All the arayoth (illicit relations) about whom they said that their tzaroth (co-wives) are permitted, [the fifteen arayoth about whom the sages said that their tzaroth are permitted to marry without chalitzah (from the yavam)] — if these tzaroth went and married, and these [the arayoth] were found to be eiloniyoth (unable to bear children) [making it manifest, retroactively, that the dead man's (original) betrothal of them was mistaken, so that these were not (halachically) their tzaroth and were not exempt from yibum by the arayoth], she (the tzarah) leaves this one [the husband that she married] and (she leaves) this one [the yavam (i.e., he must give her chalitzah)], and all of the above applies. [In Yevamoth, this is stated to be in accordance with R. Akiva, who says that the child of a union interdicted by a negative commandment is a mamzer. This is not the halachah.]

Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot

HALAKHAH: “They came and told her, your son died,” etc. 116The same text Giṭṭin, Halakhah 8:6. In both places, the problem discussed is not the one stated in the Mishnah. The parallel discussion in the Babli is 92a/b where there is no mention of the position of R. Jeremiah. If she should not have married but entered levirate, this is the case of a sister-in-law who married without ḥalîṣah. Rebbi Jeremiah said, this man performs ḥalīṣah, the other one keeps her. Rebbi Jehudah ben Pazi in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: She must leave117This is a rabbinic decree since the outside marriage of a woman under obligation of levirate is invalid (Chapter 1, Notes 93, 94); therefore, the widow was not legally married during the levir’s lifetime and how can you leave a nonexisting marriage?. Rebbi Yose in the name of Rebbi Hila: She must leave. Rebbi Yose asked Rebbi Phineas, how does the rabbi hold? He said, with Rebbi Jeremiah. He said to him, change your mind, for otherwise I shall publicly call you a rebellious Elder118Deut. 17:12.. Rebbi Zevidah said, a baraita119Cf. Tosephta 11:8, Giṭṭin 8:6. supports Rebbi Joḥanan: “She must leave both of them and the thirteen items120Enumerated in Mishnah 1. apply to her, following Rebbi Meïr who said it in the name of his teacher Rebbi Aqibah. But the Sages say, there is no bastard from a sister-in-law121Cf. Halakhah 4:15..” They only said, “there is no bastard from a sister-in-law,” therefore she must leave. And we have stated, “she must leave”. And Rebbi Joḥanan said, she must leave.
