If a man divorced his wife and remarried her, she is permitted to marry the levir; R. Eleazar. However, forbids. Similarly, if a man divorced an orphan and remarried her, she is permitted to marry the levir; R. Eleazar, however, forbids. If a minor was given in marriage by her father and was divorced, [so that she is regarded] as an `orphan` in her father`s lifetime, and then her husband remarried her, all agree that she is forbidden to marry the levir. |

13.6 |
Where two brothers were married to two sisters who were minors and orphans, and the husband of one of them died, [the widow] is free as being [the levir`s] wife`s sister. Similarly in the case of two deaf [sisters one of whom was] of age and [the other] a minor, if the husband of the minor died, the minor is free as being [the levir`s] wife`s sister. If the husband of the elder sister died, the minor is to be instructed, R. Eliezer stated, to exercise her right of mi`un against him. R. Gamaliel said: if she exercised her right of mi`un well and good; but if [she did] not, let her wait until she is of age when the other becomes free as being [the levir`s] wife`s sister. R. Joshua said: woe to him because of his wife and woe to him because of his brother`s wife! He must allow his wife to go by [giving her] a letter of divorce, and his brother`s wife by [submitting to her] halizah. |
