Which of the following is NOT one of the four required rules for a valid conditional agreement?
Halacha 2 lists the four rules: twofold statement, positive before negative, condition before deed, and feasibility. A financial sum is not itself a requirement.
Question 2
A man says to a woman: 'Behold you are consecrated,' gives her the dinar, and then says 'if you give me 200 zuz you are consecrated, if not you are not.' What is the result?
Halacha 4 rules that performing the deed before stating the stipulation voids the condition; she is consecrated immediately with no obligation to pay.
Question 3
A man stipulates that his wife need not receive conjugal rights. Is this stipulation binding?
Halacha 10 rules that conjugal rights are a Torah-mandated physical obligation and cannot be waived by stipulation, unlike financial obligations such as provisions and garments.
Question 4
When a man uses the wording 'on condition that' (al menat), which rules of conditional agreements are waived?
Halacha 17 rules that when 'al menat' or 'from this time onward' is used, the twofold-statement rule and the stipulation-before-deed rule are both waived, though the condition must still be feasible.
Question 5
A man gives kiddushin in Nisan with a condition he fulfills in Elul. A second man consecrates her in Tammuz. Who is she consecrated to?
Halacha 15 states that without a 'from this time onward' formulation, kiddushin under a condition take effect only when the condition is fulfilled (Elul). A second man's kiddushin in Tammuz (before fulfillment) therefore takes precedence.
