Question 1
If two partners own a field and one wants to divide it, when can he compel the other to do so?
Division can be compelled only if each resulting share is large enough to carry the same name (e.g., still called a 'field') — otherwise neither can force division.
Question 2
What is the minimum size of a courtyard for it to be divisible in the Land of Israel?
Each partner must receive at least 4×4 cubits — that is the minimum size still called a 'courtyard.'
Question 3
When property cannot be divided and one partner says 'sell me your share or buy mine,' but the other refuses both options, what happens?
If both say they only want to sell (not buy), the property is sold to outside parties and the proceeds are divided between the partners.
Question 4
In Babylonia, what is the minimum field size per partner to compel division?
In Babylonia, a field is not divided unless each partner receives enough for a full day's plowing — a larger standard than in Israel.
Question 5
Two brothers inherit a bathhouse their father used for personal use. The poor brother wants to rent it out. Can he force the rich brother?
If the father made it for personal use, neither partner can force the other to rent it out. The rich brother may tell the poor one to bring his own servants to use it.
