Um Cohein comum não pode se casar com um eilonith (uma mulher que não pode suportar), a menos que ele tenha esposa e filhos. [O mesmo é verdade para um israelita. "Cohein" é declarado apenas por causa do desprezo de R. Yehudah, que diz que um Cohein, embora tenha esposa e filhos, pode não se casar com um eilonite, ao contrário de um israelita. A halachá não está de acordo com R. Yehudah.] R. Yehudah diz: Embora ele tenha esposa e filhos, ele não pode se casar com um eilonith, pois ela é a "zonah" mencionada na Torá (Levítico 21: 7). ) E os sábios dizem que "zonah" é uma prostituta, uma serva libertada e uma mulher que viveu com devassa vida, [como aquelas interditadas por mandamentos negativos ou mandamentos positivos, e, é claro, as pessoas que estão sujeitas a kareth ou pena de morte judicial. Mas se alguém vive com uma mulher solteira, ele não a torna uma zonah.]
Mishnah Yevamot
A woman whose husband had gone to a country beyond the sea and they came and told her, “Your husband died”, married, and then her husband returned: She must leave this one and that one, and she also requires a get from this one and that one. She has no ketubah, no usufruct, no support money or worn clothes, neither from this one nor from that one. If she has taken anything from this one or that one, she must return it. The child from this one or that one is a mamzer. Neither this one nor that one may impurify himself for her. Neither this one and that one has a claim to whatever she may find, nor what she makes with her hands, nor to invalidate her vows. If she was the daughter of an Israelite, she becomes disqualified from marrying a priest; if the daughter of a Levite, from the eating of tithe; and if the daughter of a priest, from the eating of terumah. Neither the heirs of this one nor the heirs of that one are entitled to inherit her ketubah. And if [the husbands] die, the brother of the one and the brother of the other must perform halitzah, but may not contract yibbum. Rabbi Yose said: her ketubah remains a charge upon the estate of her first husband. Rabbi Elazar said: the first husband is entitled to whatever she may find, and what she makes with her hands, and also has the right to invalidate her vows. Rabbi Shimon said: intercourse or halitzah with the brother of the first husband exempts her rival, and the child from him is not a bastard. If she married without an authorization, she may return to him.
