Daas Yochid – IDK; Did you read my post on the previous page? Why in the world would you think this applies to a regular marriage or even regular Yibum? The Gemorrah says quite clearly that it’s going on that case of more than one that needs Yibum.

I completely fail to follow your train of thought. If you look at the Gemorrah over on Mem Daled, you see clear that it’s not a problem only in this case because the Gemorrah says if he is wealthy, he can marry more than one and we don’t tell him anything like -stick with your own age buddy. (Acc. to you why not?) The gemorrah says we only tell him this when there will be conflict (Kettoh). So why do you keep on pretending that this is just like a Chok in Torah Sheb’ksav. You keep insisting that this Eitza has no reason and applies all the time, in every type of marriage. And of course it’s brought down in Tur because this is the Halacha with more than one women to be Meyabim. Even when the Torah says something which is a Chok, Chazal tried to find some sort of reason and here where the Gemorrah says clearly what the reason is, you pretend there isn’t any.

And btw, how did you come across this Gemorrah -did you learn it now or recently, or did you do some Talmudic search on the net looking for something to prove me wrong?!?
