Reply To: How many wives?

I (and midwesterner) heard several roshei yeshiva speak today, including Rav Malkiel. One of them (I forget which) quoted the Alter fun slabodka saying that ?? ??? ???? ????, that when you give your daughter to someone, you must check that he is a mensch (ish means mench).

Now, the rest of the passuk is that this mensch hated her so much that he is making a false and malicious taanas besulim. So you see apparently that when a man gets married, even if he is mensch, it is normal that he will hate her so much that he will make false and malicious taanas besulim. Apparently.
