So a cheresh *must* do yibum today (since he cannot do chalitza)?
What if the cheresh is married (and Ashkenaz thus under Cherem D’Rabbeinu Gershom)?
In Ashkenazic communities, the brother (if he is not a cheresh) cannot under any circumstance do yibum today? Why not?
In Sefardic communities can the brother do yibum today?
