Just out of curiosity, is the child of two mamzerim a mamzer? I remember a teacher saying he/she is not and being very confused. Isn’t it hereditary?
See my post above, to wit:
In general, there are only three ways for a person to become a mamzer:
1. Be born of a father or mother who is a mamzer(ess)
2. Be born of a union between a married woman and another man.
3. Be born of a forbidden union which is punishable by kares (with the exception of a man and his wife who is a nidda).
Yes, I suppose I might have been unclear and you could have read the “or” in the first condition as an exclusive or. It is not. My apologies for being unclear on the matter. The “or” in the first condition is not exclusive.
