The tenth perek, called Mi she-hayah nassuy, deals with an issue that first appeared in the last perek: How the estate should be divided in a case where a man was married to more than one woman and has children with each wife. Clearly, if the estate has enough money to pay all its obligations, there is no problem. What happens, however, when the ketubot of the women amount to more than the money that was left?

We explore the cultural history of two wives from a biblical perspective through the Aliyah of Yemenite Jewry.
