Reply To: Someone who 'doesn't want' to get married?

Oomis: Your reason is an idea that I have heard from a lot of people, but has no source that I can recall. The reason that women are Pattur is because there is an explicit Limud from a Passuk like that. In fact, one Tanna holds that women are Mechuyav. It would be very hard to say that we hold of a P’tur due to Pikuach Nefesh but another Tanna held there was a Chiyuv (though I think there’s a Minchas Chinuch that sounds like that, so my proof could be wrong).
