Audio by Dr. Michael Sokolow

[If the levir] submitted to halizah and then addressed to her a Maamar, gave her a letter of divorce, or cohabited with her; or if he cohabited with her and then addressed to her a Maamar, gave her a letter of divorce, or submitted to halizah, no act is valid after the halizah, whether [it was performed] in the beginning, in the middle, or at the end. In the case of cohabitation, if it took place first no act that follows it has any validity; if it occurred, however, in the middle or at the end something valid still remains. R. Nehemiah said: with cohabitation as with halizah, whether it took place in the beginning, in the middle, or at the end, there is no validity in any act that follows it.  יבמות 5.6
חלץ ועשה מאמר, חלץ ונתן גט ובעל, או בעל ועשה מאמר, בעל ונתן גט וחלץ-- אין אחר החליצה כלום׃ בין בתחילה, בין באמצע, בין בסוף׃ הבעילה-- בזמן שהיא בתחילה, אין אחריה כלום; רבי נחמיה אומר, אחת בעילה ואחת חליצה-- בין בתחילה, בין באמצע, בין בסוף-- אין אחריהן כלום
If a man cohabited with his deceased brother`s wife, whether in error or in presumption, whether under compulsion or of his own free will, even if he acted in error and she in presumption, or he in presumption and she in error, or he under compulsion and she not under compulsion, or she under compulsion and he not under compulsion, whether he passed only the first, or also the final stage of contact, he constitutes thereby a Kinyan, irrespective of the nature of the intercourse.  יבמות 6.1
הבא על יבמתו-- בין שוגג, בין מזיד, בין באונס, בין ברצון, אפילו הוא שוגג והיא מזידה, הוא מזיד והיא שוגגת, הוא אנוס והיא לא אנוסה, היא אנוסה והוא לא אנוס, אחד המערה ואחד הגומר-- קנה׃ ולא חלק בין ביאה לביאה
