If one of [the two husbands] was an Israelite and the other a priest, he may only marry a woman who is eligible to marry a priest. He may not defile himself for the dead, but if he did defile himself he does not suffer the penalty of forty stripes. He may not eat Terumah, but if he did eat he need not pay compensation either for the principal or [for the additional] Fifth. He does not receive a share at the threshing-floor, but he may sell [his own] Terumah and the proceeds are his. He receives no share in the consecrated things of the Temple, no consecrated things are given to him, but he is not deprived of his own. He is exempt from [giving to any priest] the shoulder, the cheeks and the maw, while his Firstling must remain in the pasture until it contracts a blemish. The restrictions relating to priests and the restrictions relating to Israelites are imposed upon him. If the two [husbands] were priests, he must mourn as Onan for them and they must mourn as onenim for him, but he may not defile himself for them, nor may they defile themselves for him. He may not inherit from them, but they may inherit from him. He is exonerated if he strikes or curses the one or the other. He goes up [to serve] in the Mishmar of the one as well as of the other, but he does not receive a share [in the offerings]. If, however both served in the same Mishmar, he receives a single portion |
יבמות 11.7 |
The commandment of halizah must be performed in the presence of three judges, even though all the three are laymen. If the woman performed the halizah with a shoe, Her halizah is valid, [but if] with a sock it is invalid; if with a sandal to which a heel is attached it is valid, but [if with one] that has no heel it is invalid. [If the shoe was worn] below the knee the halizah is valid, but if above the knee it is invalid |
