Ketubot 55: Intent to Marry
Talking Talmud - A podcast by Yardaena Osband & Anne Gordon
Categories:
A new chapter (5), a new mishnah: on the value of the ketubah, and the possibility that the husband add to the baseline sums of 200 dinar for a virgin and 100 for a widow/divorcee. The question of whether she'd get that extra if they were only betrothed is a machloket. Also, the question of whom to follow in that machloket -- spoiler: R. Elazar ben Azariah, on his convincing presumption about the intent to marry. Plus, terumot and ma'aserot, and R. Shimon Shizuri's on intent and assessments.
