Reply To: Klerr about Kavua

You are making a very good point, in that the mekudeshes case the person who is assur does not necessarily know she is, because the person who is assur is a karov and not the actual woman who received the kiddushin. I can hear now that by the case of the yid and the goy it is considered nikkar v’yadua since the individuals involved are all aware of their status, mah she’ein kein by the case of mekudeshes.

This would effectively include women in all relevant halachos of course, and would not contradict anything when it comes to other cases of teisha chanuyos. In those cases where we are not dealing with a human being we obviously need to resort to more basic ways of measuring nikkar v’yadua bimkomo, which we do.

Very nice. I hear.
