The daughter of a priest, levi or Israelite that got married to a convert—the child lis a convert; to a freedman—the child is a freedman. A Gentile or slave that had sex with a daughter of Israel and she bore a son—the child is a bastard (mamzer). Rabbi Shimon ben Elazar (sic! based on Ehrfurt manuscript): There is no bastard except for from a woman that is forbidden by a forbidden sexual relationship and for which they make him suffer karet.

Tosefta Kiddushin
Converts, freedmen, mamzerim (bastards), netinim (descendants of temple slaves), shetukim (orphan with no father), asufim (orphan with neither known parent; see Mishnah Kiddushin 4:1), and any [class of people] that are forbidden from marrying into the congregation are permitted to marry each other—words of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yehudah says: There are 4 congregations [that are all permitted to marry each other]—kohanim, levi'im, yisrael, converts, and anyone else [not in any of those 4 congregations] is allowed to marry each other. But Hakhamim say: There are 3 congregations—kohanim, levi'im, yisrael. Rabbi Eliezer says: Anyone who is forbidden to marry into the congregation—two people who each have certain status are permitted [to marry each other]; one person with certain status with one person with doubtful status, doubtful with certain and doubtful with doubtful are forbidden [to marry each other].

Tosefta Kiddushin
A female Levite or female Yisrael—[one who seeks to marry them should] add upon them an additional one [generation on both sides that he should investigate to understand their lineage, 1 more than for a female Kohen], which is 12 [people to investigate]. (The following translated from the Ehrfurt manuscript:) If he investigated the mother, he does not need to investigate the children. If he investigated the adults, he does not need to investigate the minors. When does this apply? When [investigating a family that has] one wife. But when [the family has] 2 wives—if he investigated the mother, he needs to investigate the children; and if he investigated the adults, he needs to investigate the minors [because they might be born from different women].

But Hakhamim say: Even if both of them (the man and woman) say that the foetus in her womb is a mamzer—they is not believed.

Tosefta Kiddushin
(Translated from Ehrfurt manuscript:) One wife can be secluded with 2 men, even if both of them are kuti'im, even if both of them are slaves, even if one of them is a kuti and one of them is a slave, even if one of them is a minor, except for a minor with regard to whom he [the adult man] has no shame to have sex in his [the minor's] presence. But she should not be secluded with any Gentiles, even 100 [of them]. His sister, his mother-in-law and any other person with whom sex would be forbidden—he should not be secluded with them except on the basis of two [witnesses]. Rabbi Elazar says: A man who has a wife and children but doesn't live with them shouldn't teach children [Scripture]. Rabbi Yehudah says: A single man shouldn't shepherd small cattle, and two single men shouldn't sleep in one cloak. They said: Yisrael is not suspected of such [bestiality].
