176 ‎[1] One who betrothed one of two sisters and doesn't know which he betrothed, even if they were never known, for they were not given [to him] for relations, it is betrothal and a get is required for each one of them. If he died and had a brother, the brother performs chalitzah for both of them. If he had two brothers, one performs chalitzah and one performs levirate marriage with the second. If the two brothers acted precipitously and brought them both into marriage, they do not remove them from them. But if they consulted with the beit din and they said to them that one should perform chalitzah and they other should perform levirate marriage, and both of them went and performed levirate marraige, they remove them. ‎[2] One who transgresses and performs a leverite marriage (Yibbum) with a connected sister, we remove them from the marriage. ‎[3] Two men who married two sisters, and neither of them know which sister her married, and they die(the men), each of their brother performs the refusal ceremony for both of them and neither of them can do levirate marriage. If one of the men had one brother and the other, two, the one with one brother can do the refusal ceremony with both sisters and the one with two brothers, one of them can do the refusal ceremony with one sister first and then afterward, the second brother can do the levirate marriage. If the two brothers expedited the process and married the sisters after the one brother did the refusal ceremony, we don't divorce them from their hands, even if they are both priests. If both men had two brothers each, one of the brothers of one performs the refusal ceremony and the other brother performs the levirate marriage with aforementioned refused sister and the other second brother also performs the levirate marriage with the one his brother refused. If the two brothers expedited the process and performed the refusal service, the other two brothers cannot perform levirate marriage to the two women. Rather, one performs the refusal ceremony and one performs levirate marriage. If the two other brothers preceded and married the two women after the first two brothers performed the refusal ceremony, we do not remove them from their hands. ‎[4] One who's husband goes overseas, and she hears that he died [and upon receiving that information] she remarries and [after she remarried] her husband [who was thought dead comes afterwards] and then both of them [the ex-husband and current husband] die, for this brother [of the current husband] and for this brother [of the ex husband] brother of this one and this one preform chalitza and levirite marriage is not preformed. this is the rule for the other wife see further on in Siman 183 Seif 11. ‎[5] If a woman had sons and whose daughter-in-law also had sons, and they each gave birth to a son in a [wartime] hideout, and the parentage of the two boys became mixed up, and the boys grew up and got married, and both later died, the surviving sons of the daughter-in-law should perform *chalitza* on the two widows before those of her mother-in-law, but her sons should not perform levirate marriage. After the sons of the daughter-in-law perform *chalitza*, the sons of the mother-in-law may perform either *chalitza* or levirate marriage. ‎[6] [married] sons that certainly died of old age and the [widowed] wife, it is doubtful if she is bound [to have levirite marriage/chalitza done]; The doubtful one [the widowed woman who is destined] to marry men who are older has chalitza preformed and not levirite marriage; and a woman who is of marriageable [status/age], one who is doubtful [that he will be able to have children with her] preforms chalitza from the beginning [when she is attached to him], and the second [brother available] is made the halachic brother-in-law. ‎[7] A woman who does not stay married to her husband after 3 months, and she married again[had relations ,became pregnant and gave birth] and its unknown if he [the unborn child] in utreo for nine months from the first husband or seven months from the second husband , and she will have a child from either the first or second husband, and the paternally unknown child grew up, married a woman and died; sons of both the first and second husband preform Chalitza and don't preform Levirite marriage; and so does this paternally doubtful child, [do to his unknown biological brother and non biological brother] he preforms Chalitza and not Levirite marriage. had the [sons of] the first marriage and second marriage died, for everyone, who is a son of another woman [they do not share the same mother], and they die [the brothers from either the first or second husband], This paternally doubtful son either preforms Chalitza or Levirite marriage for their wives. The paternally doubtful dies,and one of the two is required to preform Chalitza at first and the second brother preforms Levirite marriage. ‎[8] Five women who each had one known son, and they each gave birth in secret to a boy, and the five infants were mixed together [and grew up] and married women and then died, and their wives come before the five known sons. Four of the known [sons] perform *chalitsah* to one [of the wives], after which the fifth [known son] can marry [that wife]. They do this for each one [of the wives]. If one of the known sons died, four of the doubtful sons perform *chalitsah* [to his wife], and one [doubtful son] can perform *yibum*. If some of the known sons were *kohanim*, the *kohanim* perform *chalitsah* and not *yibum* and the ones who are not *kohanim* perform *yibum*. If some of the known sons had brothers from their mother but not their father, and they also [share] brothers from their father (The brothers with a [common] mother perform *chalitsah*. The brothers with a [common] father perform *yibum*. If some of them were *kohanim* and some of them were brothers from the mother, these and these) perform *chalitsah* and not *yibum*.
