Ketubot 51: Rape Is Rape (Or: Where Shmuel's Father Goes Wrong)

Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon

Truly, a doozy of a daf (again, rape). But first, establishing the minimum standard of the ketubah (a mishnah!). Likewise, the standard that a man has to redeem his captive wife. Note the planning for the captive wife scenario - which seems far beyond the pale today. Also, the Gemara on rape, on Shmuel's father's take on rape, and Rava's sharp and extensive rejection of Shmuel's father's view.
