Jerusalem Talmud Nedarim 10:6

משנה: אָמַר רִבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר. מָה אִם אִשָּׁה שֶׁקָּנָה הוּא לְעַצְמוֹ הֲרֵי הוּא מֵיפֵר נְדָרֶיהָ אִשָּׁה שֶׁקָּנוּ לוֹ מִן שָׁמַיִם אֵינוֹ דִין שֶׁיָּפֵר נְדָרֵיהָ. אָמַר לוֹ רִבִּי עֲקִיבָה לֹא. אִם אָֽמְרָת בְּאִשָּׂה שֶׁקָּנָה הוּא לְעַצְמוֹ שֶׁאֵין לָאֲחֵרִים רְשׁוּת בָּהּ תֹּאמַר בְּאִשָּׁה שֶׁקָּנוּ לוֹ מִן שָׁמַיִם שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָאֲחֵרִים רְשׁוּת בָּהּ. אָמַר לוֹ רִבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ. עֲקִיבָה דְּבָרֶיךָ בִשְׁנֵי יְבָמִין מָה אַתָּה מֵשִׁיב עַל יָבָם אֶחָד. אָמַר לוֹ אֵין הַיְּבָמָה גְמוּרָה לְאִישָׁהּ כְּשֵׁם שֶׁהָאֲרוּסָה גְּמוּרָה לְבַעֲלָהּ. MISHNAH: Rebbi Eliezer said, if he can dissolve vows for a wife which he himself acquired, so much more that he should be able to dissolve for a wife which Heaven acquired for him. Rebbi Aqiba answered him: No. What you say is about a wife which he himself acquired, where nobody else has any authority over her; what can you say about the wife which Heaven acquired for him, where others⁵²The other brothers of the deceased husband. have authority over her? Rebbi Joshua said to him, Aqiba, your words apply to two levirs. What can you reply about one levir? He said to him, the sister-in-law does not belong completely to her man as the wife belongs completely to her husband⁵³The childless widow is unable to contract a marriage except with the levir; she does not commit adultery if she sleeps with another man before she is married by the levir. But a married woman who sleeps with another man commits a capital crime. For R. Aqiba, marriage is only a relationship whose violation is a capital crime..

HALAKHAH: “Rebbi Eliezer said,” etc. ⁶³Tosephta 6:5, Nedarim.74b">Babli 74b.“Rebbi Eliezer said, since a woman on whom I had no claim before she entered into my domain, becomes absolutely mine after she entered my domain, is it not logical that a woman on whom I had some claim before she entered my domain, shall become absolutely mine when she enters my domain⁶⁴A man has no relation to an unrelated woman. After the preliminary marriage he has the exclusive right to her and dissolves her vows (together with the father). Since he has potential rights to his childless sister-in-law, should he not have the right to dissolve her vows (together with the father) after “bespeaking”?? Rebbi Aqiba told him, no. If you speak about a woman on whom you had no claim before she entered into your domain, but after she entered your domain she became absolutely yours, then just as you had no part in her so no other man had any part in her. What can you conclude about a woman on whom you had some claim before she entered your domain, and after she entered your domain she became absolutely yours, but just as you had some rights to her so others had the same rights to her⁶⁵The other brothers.! Rebbi Joshua told him, Aqiba, your argument holds for two levirs. What do you respond in the case of a single levir? He said to him, just as you make no difference in the rules of one waiting for one levir or for two levirs, whether he ‘bespoke’ her or did not ‘bespeak’ her, can it not be the same for vows and oaths? He said to him, that is true⁶⁶The text in the Tosephta is different: אָמַר לוֹ. הֲבָל אִילּוּ הָיִיתָ בִימֵי רִבִּי לָעְזָר בֶּן עֲרָךְ וַהֲשֵׁבתָ תְשוּבָה זוֹ. “He said to him, I am sorry that you did not live in the time of R. Eleazar ben Arakh and give him this reply” (maybe he would have changed his mind).. He said to him, if you had lived in the times of Rebbi Eleazar ben Arakh, he would have said that ‘bespeaking’ does not acquire completely since he would agree that he cannot dissolve until she enters his domain⁶³Tosephta 6:5, Nedarim.74b">Babli 74b..
