A woman was widowed after erusin (betrothal) but before nissuin (marriage). What ketubah does her next husband owe?
Halacha 1 states that a woman widowed or divorced after erusin alone retains a 200-zuz ketubah from her subsequent husband, since she was never actually wed (nissuin).
Question 2
A mukat etz married under the presumption of full virginity. To which ketubah is she entitled?
Halacha 3 rules that a mukat etz receives 100 zuz; the marriage is not annulled even though the husband was mistaken, because she had not engaged in intercourse previously.
Question 3
A deaf-mute woman's hearing and speech are fully restored after her marriage. What is she now owed?
Halacha 4 specifies that if a deaf-mute woman's disability is remedied after marriage, she becomes entitled to a ketubah of 100 zuz.
Question 4
A husband claims he found an open passageway (no tightness) in his bogeret wife. Is this a valid virginity claim?
Halacha 13 explicitly rules, contra certain Geonim, that for a bogeret the only valid claim is the absence of hymenal bleeding; the claim of an open passageway is not valid for her.
Question 5
How long does a husband have to raise a virginity claim if the couple did NOT enter privacy before the wedding night?
Halacha 15 rules that when the couple did not enter privacy beforehand, the husband may raise a virginity claim even after 30 days; if they did enter privacy, the claim must be raised immediately.
