15:7:1

משנה: הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁהָלְכָה הִיא וּבַעֲלָהּ לִמְדִינַת הַיָּם בָּאָת וְאָמְרָה מֵת בַּעֲלִי תִּינָּשֵׂא וְתִיטּוֹל כְּתוּבָתָהּ וְצָרָתָהּ אֲסוּרָה. הָיְתָה בַת יִשְׂרָאֵל לַכֹּהֵן תֹּאכַל בַּתְּרוּמָה דִּבְרֵי רִבִּי טַרְפוֹן. רִבִּי עֲקִיבָה אוֹמֵר אֵין זוֹ דֶרֶךְ מוֹצִיאַתָּהּ מִידֵי עֲבֵירָה עַד שֶּׁתְּהֵא אֲסוּרָה לְהִינָּשֶׂא וַאֲסוּרָה מִלּוֹכַל בַּתְּרוּמָה.

MISHNAH: If a woman went overseas with her husband and she returns and says “my husband died”, she can remarry and collect her ketubah, but her co-wife remains forbidden140Since the testimony of a wife cannot be trusted in matters of her co-wife.. If she was the daughter of an Israel married to a Cohen141And she has no son on whose behalf she remains in the priestly clan and continues to eat heave., she should eat heave, the words of Rebbi Tarphon. Rebbi Aqiba says, in this way one does not remove her from sin unless she be forbidden to remarry142Since perhaps her co-wife is ready to put herself in a perilous position in order to damage her co-wife. and forbidden to eat heave143Since perhaps the testimony of her co-wife was true..

הלכה: חֲשׁוּדָה הִיא לְקַלְקֵל עַצְמָהּ כְּדֵי לְקַלְקֵל צָרָתָהּ. מֵעַתָּה אֲפִילוּ עַל עַצְמָהּ לֹא תְהֵא נֶאֱמֶנֶת. מִתּוֹךְ שֶׁהִיא יוֹדַעַת שֶׁלֹּא עָשׂוּ דְּבָרֶיהָ אֵצֶל חֲבֵירָתָהּ כְּלוּם אַף הִיא אוֹמֶרֶת אֱמֶת. מֵעַתָּה אֲפִילּוּ עַל צָרָתָהּ תְּהֵא נֶאֱמֶנֶת. אָמַר רִבִּי הִילָא. חוֹזֵר לַקִּילְקוּל הָרִאשׁוֹן. חֲשׁוּדָה הִיא לְקַלְקֵל עַצְמָהּ כְּדֵי לְקַלְקֵל צָרָתָהּ.
