הָאוֹכֵל אֵצֶל חָמִיו בִּיהוּדָה שֶׁלֹּא בְעֵדִים, אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לִטְעֹן טַעֲנַת בְּתוּלִים, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁמִּתְיַחֵד עִמָּהּ. אַחַת אַלְמְנַת יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאַחַת אַלְמְנַת כֹּהֵן, כְּתֻבָּתָן מָנֶה. בֵּית דִּין שֶׁל כֹּהֲנִים הָיוּ גוֹבִין לַבְּתוּלָה אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת זוּז, וְלֹא מִחוּ בְיָדָם חֲכָמִים:
Si alguien hubiera comido a sus suegros sin testigos en Judá, ella no está sujeta a un reclamo de virginidad, ya que se queda solo con ella. [Cuando hicieron la fiesta de compromiso en la casa del padre de la novia en Judá, era costumbre que el novio se quedara solo con ella para familiarizarse con ella. Por lo tanto, cuando luego se casó con ella, no tuvo derecho a la virginidad.] Tanto la kethubah de la viuda de un israelita como la de la viuda de un Cohein son una manah. Un beth-din de Cohanim reclamaría cuatrocientos zuz por (la kethubah de) una virgen (que era la hija de un Cohein), y los sabios no protestaron.
Jerusalem Talmud Gittin
HALAKHAH: “There was no law of siqariqon in Judea” etc. In earlier times they decided on a persecution in Judea because they had a tradition from their forefathers that Jehudah had killed Esaw, as it is written: “Your hand is on your enemies’ neck.” They went and enslaved them, took their fields and sold them to third parties. The original owners could come and repossess; therefore the land was left absolutely in the hand of the siqariqon since they refrained from buying. “They decreed that the law of siqariqon should not apply in Jehudah. When was this said? About war killings before the war. But about anybody killed in and after the war, the notion of siqariqon does not apply.” But are those killed before the war not like those killed after the war? Explain it that a siqariqon came and robbed and suppressed; there was no time left to write the sales contract before murder engulfed the entire world, that practice should not be partial.
