Yevamot 109: Marrying Off A Minor

When a minor girl is married off by her mother or brothers and she refuses her husband, she is considered to be an orphan. She is no longer of her father's home, nor is she provided for by her ex-husband. In fact, because minor girls marrying and refusing is a rabbinic concept, it is subject to much debate. Does the girl who has refused and then remarried that husband partake in yibum if that husband dies?

Does that change if she is still a minor at that time?

What if her sister is married to her husband's brother?

We continue the expiration of miyun with Joshua Eater’s discussion of Jewish justice and #Me Too as well as Devorah Weisberg’s review of Rabbis and daughters in the talmud.
