Reply To: Yavam inheriting father who was a ger

Popa:

1)If anything I think it’s mashma from there that it doesn’t work lemafrea because if it did work lemafrea then why (in the mishna that’s quoted from 41a) does the brother have to wait to do nissuin for someone to do yibum/chalitza or for the yevama to die? He could just do nissuin and later it will be lemafrea not achos zekukaso. (Admittedly this is not such a good proof, which is why I said that I’m not sure.)

2)I don’t think they would be pagum either. But I don’t know if it’s discussed. The best I could come up with is the sugya by the bottom mishnah on 44a, but the whole discussion over there is by issurei d’oraisa. Feel free to correct me on this.

3)If I’m right about number 2 then number 3 would also not be an issue. (I think you have a fixation with dead people.)

4)You might be right about this one (MIGHT.)
