The Mishna on our daf lists situations where a woman can be divorced without receiving her ketuba.
These include a woman who transgresses “the law of Moses” or “Jewish practice.”
According to the Mishna, transgressing the “law of Moses” includes:
feeding her husband untithed food,
engaging in relations while she is a niddah (during the period of her menstruation)
not setting apart her dough offering,
making vows and not fulfilling them.
According to the Mishna, transgressing the “law of Moses” includes:
going out with an uncovered head,
spinning wool in the street,
conversing with every man.
We explore the history of women’s head covering form a halachic and cultural perspective.
