Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot 13.7

משנה: שְׁנֵי אַחִים נְשׂוּאִין לִשְׁתֵּי יְתוֹמוֹת קְטַנּוֹת מֵת בַּעֲלָהּ שֶׁלְּאַחַת מֵהֶן תֵּצֵא מִשּׁוּם אֲחוֹת אִשָּׁה. וְכֵן שְׁתֵּי חֵרְשׁוֹת גְּדוֹלָה וּקְטַנָּה מֵת בַּעֲלָהּ שֶׁלַּקְּטַנָּה תֵּצֵא מִשּׁוּם אֲחוֹת אִשָּׁה. מֵת בַּעֲלָהּ שֶׁלַּגְּדוֹלָה רִבִּי לִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר מְלַמְּדִין אֶת הַקְּטַנָּה שֶׁתְּמָאֵן בּוֹ. רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר אִם מֵיאֵנָה מֵיאֵנָה וְאִם לָאו תַּמְתִּין עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל וְתֵצֵא הַלֵּזוּ מִשּׁוּם אֲחוֹת אִשָּׁה. רִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ אוֹמֵר אִי לוֹ עַל אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאִי לוֹ לְאֵשֶׁת אָחִיו מוֹצִיא אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ בְגֵט וְאֵשֶׁת אָחִיו בַּחֲלִיצָה.

MISHNAH: Two brothers are married to two underage orphan [sisters]. If the husband of one of them dies, the other one has to leave as wife’s sister. And so for two deaf-mute [sisters]. If one is adult and the other underage, if the husband of the underage girl died, she has to leave as wife’s sister. If the husband of the adult one died, Rebbi Eliezer said, one teaches the underage one to repudiate him. Rabban Gamliel says, if she repudiated, she repudiated; otherwise she should wait until she becomes of age and the other one has to leave as wife’s sister. Rebbi Joshua says, woe to him for his wife, woe to him for his brother’s wife! He has to send away his wife by a bill of divorce and his brother’s wife by ḥalîṣah.

הלכה: כְּקִינְיָינָהּ שֶׁלֵּזוּ כֵּן קִנְיָינָהּ שֶׁלֵּזוּ וּכְקִנְיָינָהּ שֶׁלֵּזוּ כֵּן קִנְיָינָהּ שֶׁלֵּזוּ. וְלֹא כֵן תַּנִּינָן קְטַנָּה וְחֵרֶשֶׁת. תַּנֵּי רִבִּי חִיָיה. קְטַנָּה וְחֵרֶשֶׁת. מֵת בַּעַל הַקְּטַנָּה בַּעַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת מוֹצִיאָהּ בַּגֵּט וְהַקְּטַנָּה תַּמְתִין עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל וְתַחֲלוֹץ. וְתַחֲלוֹץ מִיָּד. לֵית יָכִיל בְּגִין דְּרִבִּי מֵאִיר. דְּרִבִּי מֵאִיר אָמַר. אֵין חוֹלְצִין וְאֵין מְיַיבְּמִין אֶת הַקְּטַנָּה שֶׁמָּא תִימָּצֵא אַיְילוֹנִית. מֵת בַּעַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת בַּעַל הַקְּטַנָּה מוֹצִיאָהּ בַּגֵּט וְהַחֵרֶשֶׁת אֲסוּרָה אִיסּוּר עוֹלָם. עָבַר וּבָא עַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת יוֹצִיא בְגֵט וְהוּתְּרָה. כְּהַהִיא דְאָמַר רִבִּי הִילָא. מִפְּנֵי תַקָּנָתָהּ.

HALAKHAH: Is the degree of acquisition of one equal to that of the other? Did we not state “underage and deaf-mute”? Rebbi Hiyya stated ““underage and deaf-mute”: “If the husband of the underage girl died, the husband of the deaf-mute has to divorce her and the underage girl has to wait until she comes of age and perform ḥalîṣah” Why can she not perform ḥalîṣah immediately? She cannot because of Rebbi Meїr, since Rebbi Meїr said that one does not perform levirate or ḥalîṣah with an underage girl, since she might be found to be a she-ram. “If the husband of the deaf-mute died, the husband of the underage girl has to divorce her and the deaf-mute is permanently forbidden. If he transgressed and had intercourse with the deaf-mute, he divorces her and she becomes permitted.” This follows what Rebbi Hila said, in order to fix her status.

כֵּינִי מַתְנִיתָא. וְהַקְּטַנָּה תַּמְתִּין עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל וְתַגִּיעַ לַפֶּרֶק וְתִינָּשֵׂא. אָמַר רִבִּי לָעְזָר. לֵית כָּאן תִּיִנָּשֵׂא אֶלָּא תִּתְאָרֵס. אָמַר רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. זוֹ דִבְרֵי רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל. הַמְקַדֵּשׁ אֲחוֹת יְבִמְתּוֹ נִפְטְרָה יְבִמְתּוֹ מִן הַחֲלִיצָה וּמִן הַיִּבּוּם. הֲוֵי הַהִיא דְּתַנִּינָן תַּמָּן שׁוֹמֶרֶת יָבָם שֶׁקִּידֵּשׁ אָחִיו אֶת אֲחוֹתָהּ. דְּלֹא כְרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל.

So is the Mishnah: The underage girl should wait until she grows up, reaches puberty, and is being married. Rebbi Eleazar said, there is no “being married” here, only “being betrothed.” Rebbi Joḥanban said, these are the words of Rabban Gamliel: If somebody gave qiddušin to his sister-in-law’s sister, his sister-in-law was freed from ḥalîṣah and levirate. It follows that what we had stated there, “if somebody gave qiddušin to the sister of a woman waiting for her levir” does not follow Rabban Gamliel.

רִבִּי חַגַּיי אָמַר קוֹמֵי רִבִּי זְעִירָה מְנַחֵם בְּשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. הֲלָכָה כְּרִבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אִם מֵיאֵנָה מֵיאֵנָה. רִבִּי לִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר. מְלַמְּדִין אֶת הַקְּטַנָּה שֶׁתְּמָאֵן בּוֹ וְאַתְּ אָמַר הָכֵין. רבִּי זְעִירָה רִבִּי חִיָיה בְשֵּׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. הֲלָכָה כְּרִבִּי יְהוֹשֻּׁעַ אִם מֵיאֵנָה מֵיאֵנָה. רִבִּי יוֹשׁוּעַ אוֹמֵר אִי לוֹ עַל אִשְׁתּוֹ וְאִי לוֹ עַל אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו. וְאַתְּ אָמַר הָכֵין. רִבִּי הִילָא רִבִּי יוֹסֵי בְשֵׁם רִבִּי יוֹחָנָן. הֲלָכָה כְּרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל. מוֹדֶה רִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ לְרַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל. אִם מֵיאֵנָה מֵיאֵנָה וְאִם לָאו תַּמְתִּין עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל. וְאִם לָאו מוֹצִיא אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ בְגֵט וְאֶת אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו בַּחֲלִיצָה.

Rebbi Ḥaggai said before Rebbi Ze‘ira, Menaḥem in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Practice follows Rebbi Eliezer, if she repudiated, she repudiated. Rebbi Eliezer said, one teaches the underage one to repudiate him, and you say so? Rebbi Ze‘ira, Rebbi Ḥiyya, in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Practice follows Rebbi Joshua, if she repudiated, she repudiated. Rebbi Joshua says, woe to him for his wife, woe to him for his brother’s wife! And you say so? Rebbi Hila, Rebbi Yose in the name of Rebbi Joḥanan: Practice follows Rabban Gamliel. Rebbi Joshua agrees with Rabban Gamliel, if she repudiated, she repudiated; otherwise she should wait until she becomes of age. If not, he has to send away his wife by a bill of divorce and his brother’s wife by ḥalîṣah.
