בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים אֵין מְמָאֲנִין אֶלָּא אֲרוּסוֹת. יְתוֹמָה שֶׁהִשִּׂיאוּהָ אִמָּהּ וְאַחֶיהָ, אֵינָהּ מְמָאֶנֶת אֶלָּא מִן הָאֵרוּסִין:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

בית שמאי אומרים אין ממאנין אלא ארוסות – an orphan girl whose mother and/or brothers married her off does not protest against/refuse her marriage other than from betrothal.

בַּבַּעַל. אֲבָל אִם מֵת וְלֹא מֵאֲנָה בּוֹ וְנָפְלָה לִפְנֵי יָבָם, אֵינָהּ יוֹצְאָה בְּמֵאוּן, אֶלָּא תַמְתִּין עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל וְתַחְלֹץ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

בבעל – [but] if he died and she did not protest against him and fell before a levir, she does not leave with a protest/annulment, but rather, she should wait until she grows up and performs the ritual of Halitzah.

אֵין בְּנוֹת יִשְׂרָאֵל הֶפְקֵר. וַאֲפִלּוּ מִן הָאֵרוּסִין לֹא תְּמָאֵן וְתֵאָרֵס לְאַחֵר וְתַחְזֹר וּתְמָאֵן. אֶלָּא מְמָאֶנֶת בְּזֶה וְתַמְתִּין מִלֵּאָרֵס לְאַחֵר עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

אין בנות ישראל הפקר – and even from betrothal, she should not refuse and become betrothed to another [man] and then return and protest [again], but rather, she protests/refuses this one and she should delay from becoming betrothed to another until she grows up.

תְּמָאֵן וְתִנָּשֵׂא. לָאו לְמַהְדַּר וּלְמָאֵן זִמְנָא אַחֲרִיתִי, אֶלָּא הָכִי קָאָמַר, מְמָאֶנֶת וּמַמְתֶּנֶת מִלֵּאָרֵס לְאַחֵר עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל, אוֹ אִם רוֹצָה לְהִנָּשֵׂא מְמָאֶנֶת בְּבַעֲלָהּ וְתִנָּשֵׂא מִיָּד, דְּתוּ לֹא מְמָאֶנֶת לְבֵית שַׁמַּאי, דִּנְשׂוּאָה הִיא:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ותמאן ותנשא – not to go back and to protest/annul another time. But rather, this is what he said: she protests/annuls and delays from becoming betrothed to another [man] until she grows up, or if he want to get married, she annuls/refuses her husband and gets married immediately, for furthermore she does not protest/annul, according to the School of Shammai, for she is married.

אֵין מַעֲשֵׂה קְטַנָּה אֶלָּא כִמְפֻתָּה. דִּכְמִי שֶׁלֹּא נִשֵּׂאת דָּמֵי. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר, וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶּן אַנְטִיגְנוֹס. וּפְחוּתָה מִבַּת שֵׁשׁ בְּחֶזְקַת שֶׁאֵינָהּ יוֹדַעַת לִשְׁמֹר קִדּוּשֶׁיהָ וְאֵינָהּ צְרִיכָה לְמָאֵן. וְיוֹתֵר מִבַּת עֶשֶׂר בְּחֶזְקַת שֶׁיּוֹדַעַת לִשְׁמֹר קִדּוּשֶׁיהָ, וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהִיא סְכָלָה בְּיוֹתֵר. וּמִבַּת שֵׁשׁ וְעַד בַּת עֶשֶׂר צְרִיכָה בְּדִיקָה אִם יוֹדַעַת לִשְׁמֹר קִדּוּשֶׁיהָ אִם לָאו. וּמְמָאֶנֶת הַבַּת וְהוֹלֶכֶת עַד שֶׁתְּהֵא בַּת שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה וְיוֹם אֶחָד וְתָבִיא סִימָנִים. לְאַחַר מִכָּאן אֵינָהּ מְמָאֶנֶת, אֲפִלּוּ לֹא בָּא עָלֶיהָ. וְאִם בָּא עָלֶיהָ לְאַחַר שְׁתֵּים עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה וְיוֹם אֶחָד, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא הֵבִיאָה סִימָנִים, חָיְשִׁינַן שֶׁמָּא נָשְׁרוּ הַסִּימָנִים וּקְנָאָהּ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

אין מעשה קטנה אלא כמפותה – for she is like someone who is not married, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer. But the Halakha is according to Rabbi Hanina ben Antigonos. But a seduced woman from the age of six is in the legal status of someone who does not know how to preserve her betrothal [gift], and she does not need to protest/refuse, but older than six years of age, is in the legal status of someone who knows how to keep her betrothal [gift], and even though she is more confused/foolish. But from age six until age ten, she requires an examination if she knows how to keep her betrothal gift or not. And the girl may refuse/annul until she reaches the age of twelve years and one day and she shows signs [of puberty]. After that she does not refuse/annul, even if he did not come upon her [sexually]. But if he came upon her [sexually] after the age of twelve years and one day, even though she did not bring forth signs [of puberty], we suspect lest these signs fell off and he acquired her.

כָּל עַכָּבָה שֶׁהִיא מִן הָאִישׁ. נָתַן לָהּ גֵּט, זוֹ הִיא עַכָּבָה שֶׁהִיא מִן הָאִישׁ, דְּכֵיוָן דְּלֹא מֵאֲנָה גִּלְּתָה דַּעְתָּהּ שֶׁכָּל מַה שֶּׁהָיְתָה מִתְעַכֶּבֶת אֶצְלוֹ הָיָה בִּשְׁבִילוֹ. מֵאֲנָה בּוֹ, זוֹ הִיא עַכָּבָה שֶׁאֵינָהּ מִן הָאִישׁ, שֶׁלֹּא נִתְעַכְּבָה אֶצְלוֹ מִשּׁוּם אִישׁוּת. וּמַתְנִיתִין מְפָרֵשׁ לָהּ וְאָזֵיל:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

כל עכבה שהיא מן האיש – he (i.e., the husband) gave her a Jewish bill of divorce, this is the hindrance that comes from the man, for since she did not refuse/protest him, she revealed her intention that all that she tarried/delayed with him was for him. If she protested/refused him, this is the hindrance that is not from the man, for she did not detain herself with him because of marriage, and our Mishnah explains that and continue.

מֻתֶּרֶת לַחֲזֹר לוֹ. אַף עַל גַּב דְּאִם לֹא הֶחֱזִירָהּ וְנִשֵּׂאת לְאַחֵר מִתּוֹךְ הַגֵּרוּשִׁין וְנִתְאַרְמְלָה, אֲסוּרָה לָרִאשׁוֹן, אֲפִלּוּ הָכִי כִּי הֶחֱזִירָהּ וּמֵאֲנָה בּוֹ אָתֵי מֵאוּן וְגַלִּי עֲלָהּ דִּקְטַנָּה הִיא וּבַטְּלֵיהּ לְגִטָּא, וְלֹא הֲוֵי בַּחֲזָרָה שְׁנִיָּה כְּמַחְזִיר גְּרוּשָׁתוֹ מִשֶּׁנִּשֵּׂאת לְאַחֵר:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

מותרת לחזור בו – even though that he did not restore her [as his wife] and she married another [man] as a result of divorce, and she became widowed [from the death of the second husband], she is prohibited to [marry again] the first, nevertheless, if he restored her [as his wife] and she refused/protested him, this refusal comes and reveals that she is a minor and her Jewish bill of divorce is annulled and there is nothing in her second return like restoring his divorced wife when she married another person.

זֶה הַכְּלָל. כְּלוֹמַר אֲפִלּוּ פְּעָמִים הַרְבֵּה גֵּרְשָׁהּ וְהֶחֱזִירָהּ וּמֵאֲנָה בּוֹ, אִם נִשֵּׂאת לְאַחֵר מִתּוֹךְ גֵּט אֲסוּרָה לַחֲזֹר לוֹ, וּמִתּוֹךְ מֵאוּן מֻתֶּרֶת לַחֲזֹר לוֹ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

זה הכלל – meaning to say, even many times that he divorced her and restored her [as his wife] and she refused/protested him, if she married another man as a result of a Jewish bill of divorce, she is prohibited to return to him, but as a result/in the midst of a refusal/protest, she is permitted to return to him.

לְאַחֵר וּמֵאֲנָה בוֹ. כְּלוֹמַר חָזְרָה וְנִשֵּׂאת לַשְּׁלִישִׁי וּמֵאֲנָה בּוֹ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

לאחר ומינה בו – meaning to say, she went back and got married to a third [man] and she refused him.

כָּל שֶׁיָּצְתָה מִמֶּנּוּ בְגֵט אֲסוּרָה לַחֲזֹר לוֹ. אַף עַל גַּב שֶׁיָּצְתָה מִשֶּׁל אַחֲרָיו בְּמֵאוּן, לֹא בַּטְלֵיהּ לְגִטָּא דִּידֵיהּ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

כל שיצתה ממנו בגט אסורה לחזור בו – even though she left from who came after him with refusal, his Jewish bill of divorce was not annulled.

מֻתֶּרֶת לַיָּבָם. וְלֹא אָמְרִינַן נִשּׂוּאִין הָרִאשׁוֹנִים מַפִּילִין הַיְבָמָה לִפְנֵי הַיָּבָם וּמִשָּׁעָה שֶׁגֵּרְשָׁהּ אָחִיו קַיְמָא עֲלֵיהּ בְּאִסּוּר אֵשֶׁת אָח דְּהַוְיָא לַהּ גְּרוּשַׁת אָחִיו:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

מותרת לבים – and we don’t say that the first marriage cause the sister-in-law to fall before the levir, and from the time that his brother divorced her, it establishes upon her the prohibition of the brother’s wife, that would be for her upon the divorce of his brother.

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹסֵר. דְּגָזַר כָּל הָנֵי אָטוּ יְתוֹמָה בְּחַיֵּי הָאָב דְּאָמְרִינַן לְקַמָּן בְּמַתְנִיתִין דִּלְאַחַר חֲזָרָתָהּ הֲרֵי הִיא כִּגְרוּשָׁה אֲפִלּוּ לְרַבָּנָן. וְאֵין הֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

רבי אליעזר אוסר – he decrees all of these because of the orphan during the life of the father, for we say further on in our Mishnah that after her return, she is like a divorced woman even according to the Rabbis, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Eliezer.

כִּיתוֹמָה בְחַיֵּי הָאָב. אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהָאָב חַי הֲרֵי הִיא כִּיתוֹמָה לְעִנְיַן קִדּוּשִׁין, דְּשׁוּב אֵין לָאָב כֹּחַ לְקַבֵּל קִדּוּשֶׁיהָ. וְאִם הֶחְזִירָהּ בְּקַטְנוּתָהּ, אֲסוּרָה לַיָּבָם אִם מֵת בְּקַטְנוּתָהּ, דְּקִדּוּשֵׁי חֲזָרָה אֵינָן כְּלוּם הוֹאִיל וּפָקַע רְשׁוּת אָב מִנָּהּ וְהִיא אֵין לָהּ יָד, וְהַוְיָא כִּגְרוּשָׁה וְעוֹמֶדֶת:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ביתומה בחיי האב – even though the father is living, she is like an orphan in regard to Kiddushin, for furthermore, the father does not have the power to receive her betrothal/Kiddushin. But if he restored her [as his wife] while she was a minor, she prohibited to engage in levirate marriage if he dies while she is a minor, for the return of betrothal/Kiddushin is not anything, for since the control of the father upon her has been released, she herself lacks a hand and she would be like a divorced woman continuously.

תֵּצֵא מִשּׁוּם אֲחוֹת אִשָּׁה. וּפְטוּרָה מִן הַחֲלִיצָה וּמִן הַיִּבּוּם:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

תצא משום אחות אשה – and she is exempt from Halitzah and from levirate marriage.

מֵת בַּעְלָהּ שֶׁל גְּדוֹלָה. וְנָפְלָה לִפְנֵי בַּעַל הַקְּטַנָּה, זִקָּתָהּ שֶׁל גְּדוֹלָה שֶׁהִיא מִן הַתּוֹרָה, אוֹסֶרֶת קְטַנָּה עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם דְּנִשּׂוּאֶיהָ דְּרַבָּנָן, וְהַוְיָא לָהּ אֲחוֹת זְקוּקָתוֹ, וּמַה יַּעֲשׂוּ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

מת בעלה של גדולה – and she fell before the husband of the younger [sister], the levirate relation of the older [sister]which she according to the Torah prohibits the younger [sister] upon him because her marriage is according to the Rabbis and she would be the sister of her levirate relation. What are they to do?

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר מְלַמְּדִים הַקְּטַנָּה שֶׁתְּמָאֵן בּוֹ. וְתַעֲקֹר נִשּׂוּאֶיהָ, וִיהֵא מְיַבֵּם אֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה. וְהִלְכָתָא כְּוָתֵיהּ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

רבי אליעזר אומר מלמדים הקטנה שתמאן בו – and uproot her marriage, and he would perform levirate marriage to the older, and the Halakha is according to him.

רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר. אֵין זִקַּת גְּדוֹלָה אוֹסֶרֶת אֶת הַקְּטַנָּה, דְּסָבַר רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל דְּלֹא אַלִּימָא זִקָּה לֶאֱסֹר אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ עָלָיו, הִלְכָּךְ אִם מֵאֲנָה מוּטָב וְתִתְיַבֵּם הַגְּדוֹלָה, וְאִם לָאו, תַּמְתִּין הַקְּטַנָּה אֶצְלוֹ עַד שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל וְיִהְיוּ נִשּׂוּאֶיהָ דְּאוֹרַיְתָא וְאַחַר כָּךְ תֵּצֵא הַגְּדוֹלָה מִשּׁוּם אֲחוֹת אִשָּׁה. אֲבָל לַחֲלֹץ לַגְּדוֹלָה לֹא, דְּפָסַל אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה עָלָיו מִשּׁוּם אֲחוֹת חֲלוּצָה:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

רבן גמליאל אומר – the levirate relation of the older [sister] does not prohibit the younger [sister], for Rabban Gamaliel holds that the levirate marriage is not strong to prohibit his wife upon him; therefore, if she refuses, it is better and the older [sister] should under go levirate marriage, and if not, the younger [sister] should wait with him until she grows up and her marriage will be according to the Torah, and afterwards, the older [sister] will leave because of [the prohibition of] the wife’s sister. But not to have Halitzah for the older [sister], because he has invalidated the first [sister] upon him because of being the sister of the woman who performed Halitzah.

אִי לוֹ. אוֹי לוֹ. שֶׁמּוֹצִיא אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ בְּגֵט, וְאֵין מְלַמְּדִין אוֹתָהּ לְמָאֵן, דְּאָמְרִינַן שֶׁיִּתְרַחֵק אָדָם מִן הַמֵּאוּנִים:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

אי לו – Woe to him who removes his wife with a Jewish bill of divorce and doesn’t teach her to refuse/protest, for we state that a person should distance himself protests/refusals.

לִשְׁתֵּי יְתוֹמוֹת. נָכְרִיּוֹת:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

לשתי יתומות – foreigners (i.e., not related to each other).

אוֹ חֲלִיצָתָהּ. לְאַחַר שֶׁתַּגְדִּיל:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

או חליצתה – after she grows up.

וְכֵן שְׁתֵּי חֵרְשׁוֹת. כְּלוֹמַר כְּשֵׁם שֶׁשְּׁתֵּי קְטַנּוֹת בִּיאַת אַחַת מֵהֶן פּוֹטֶרֶת צָרָתָהּ, כָּךְ בִּשְׁתֵּי חֵרְשׁוֹת. אֲבָל חֲלִיצָה לֵיכָּא לְמֵימַר בְּחֵרֶשֶׁת, דְּלָאו בַּת חֲלִיצָה הִיא:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

וכן שתי חרשות – meaning to say, that juste as the two minor-age girls, having a sexual act with one of them exempts her rival/co-wife, so also with two deaf-mute women, but there is no Halitzah, to state that a deaf-mute woman is not one who engages in Halitzah.

אַחַת קְטַנָּה וְאַחַת חֵרֶשֶׁת. אַף עַל גַּב דִּשְׁתֵּיהֶן אֵין נִשּׂוּאֵיהֶן נִשּׂוּאִין גְּמוּרִין, מִכָּל מָקוֹם לֹא יָדְעִינַן בְּהֵי מִנַּיְהוּ נִיחָא לֵיהּ וְהִיא חֲשִׁיבָא אִשְׁתּוֹ טְפֵי:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

אחת קטנה ואחת חרשת – even though that for both of them, their marriages are not complete marriages, nevertheless, we did not know which of them is satisfactory to him and she is considered more his wife.

בִּיאַת הַגְּדוֹלָה פּוֹטֶרֶת אֶת הַקְּטַנָּה. דְּבִיאַת מִי שֶׁנִּשּׂוּאֶיהָ נִשּׂוּאִין גְּמוּרִין פּוֹטֶרֶת אוֹתָהּ שֶׁאֵין נִשּׂוּאֶיהָ גְּמוּרִין. אֲבָל אִיפְּכָא לֹא:

לֹא פָסַל אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה. שֶׁהֲרֵי בִּיאָתָן שָׁוָה. וְאִי רִאשׁוֹנָה קְנוּיָה הִיא, הֲרֵי הִיא אִשְׁתּוֹ וּבִיאַת הָאַחֲרוֹנָה בְּעִילַת זְנוּת. וְאִי לָאו קְנוּיָה הִיא, הֲרֵי שְׁתֵּיהֶן נָכְרִיּוֹת אֶצְלוֹ שֶׁלֹּא הָיוּ קְנוּיוֹת לְאָחִיו, וּמְקַיֵּם אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנָה שֶׁלֹּא נִפְסְלָה עָלָיו, אֲבָל אַחֲרוֹנָה לֹא, דִּלְמָא קְנוּיוֹת הֲווּ וּמִשֶּׁבָּא עַל הָרִאשׁוֹנָה קַיְמָא הִיאַךְ עֲלֵיהּ בְּאִסּוּר שְׁנֵי בָתִּים:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

לא פסל את הראשונה – for their acts of sexual intercourse are equivalent, and if the first one is acquired, she is his wife, and the sexual intercourse of the latter is fornication. But, if she is not acquired, both of hem are considered as foreigners to him for they were not acquired to his brother and he sustains the first who was not invalidated to him but not the latter one, for perhaps they were acquired, and when he comes upon the first one, he fulfills that one upon her through the prohibition of two houses.

פָּסַל אֶת הַחֵרֶשֶׁת. דְּשֶׁמָּא קְטַנָּה קְנוּיָה כֻּלָּהּ וְקִנְיַן הַחֵרֶשֶׁת מְשֻׁיָּר, וַהֲוָה לֵיהּ שְׁנֵי בָתִּים, דְּהָכִי מַסְקִינַן בַּגְּמָרָא דִּקְטַנָּה סָפֵק אִם הִיא קְנוּיָה לְגַמְרֵי הוֹאִיל וּרְאוּיָה לְבִיאָה לְאַחַר זְמַן, סָפֵק אִם אֵינָהּ קְנוּיָה כְּלָל. וְחֵרֶשֶׁת קְנוּיָה וּמְשֻׁיֶּרֶת, כְּלוֹמַר קְנוּיָה בְּמִקְצָת וְאֵינָהּ קְנוּיָה קִנְיָן גָּמוּר. וַאֲפִלּוּ הָכִי אִם בָּא עַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת אַחַר שֶׁבָּא עַל הַקְּטַנָּה לֹא פָּסַל אֶת הַקְּטַנָּה, מִמַּה נַּפְשָׁךְ, אִי קְטַנָּה קְנוּיָה לְגַמְרֵי הֲרֵי קְנָאָהּ וּבִיאַת הַחֵרֶשֶׁת שֶׁאַחַר כֵּן לָאו כְּלוּם הִיא, וְאִי אֵינָהּ קְנוּיָה כְּלָל, אַף לְאָחִיו לֹא הָיְתָה קְנוּיָה וְנָכְרִית הִיא. אֲבָל אִם בָּא תְּחִלָּה עַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת וְאַחַר כָּךְ עַל הַקְּטַנָּה, פָּסַל אֶת הַחֵרֶשֶׁת, דְּשֶׁמָּא קִנְיַן הַקְּטַנָּה קִנְיַן גָּמוּר הוּא, וּפָסַל קִנְיַן הַחֵרֶשֶׁת שֶׁהוּא קִנְיַן מְשֻׁיָּר. וְאִית סְפָרִים דְּגָרְסֵי, אִם בָּא עַל הַקְּטַנָּה וְחָזַר וּבָא עַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת פָּסַל אֶת הַקְּטַנָּה, דְּגָזְרִינַן אָטוּ כְּשֶׁבָּא עַל הַחֵרֶשֶׁת וְחָזַר וּבָא עַל הַקְּטַנָּה:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

פסל את החרשת – for perhaps the younger was acquired completely, and the acquisition of the deaf-mute woman is leftover, and he has two homes, and we reach the conclusion in the Gemara (Tractate Yevamot 111a) that a minor girl that there is a doubt if she is acquired completely for since she is worthy of sexual intercourse after a time and there is doubt if she is not acquired at all. And a woman who is a deaf-mute is acquired and she is left over, meaning to say, that she is acquired partially and is not acquired in a complete manner but nevertheless, if he comes upon a deaf-mute after he came upon a minor, he did not invalidate the minor, whichever way you turn, if the minor woman is acquired completely, he has acquired her, and the sexual act with the deaf-mute comes after that is not anything, and if she is not acquired at all, even to his brother, she was not acquired, and she is a foreigner (i.e., not related to him), but if he came first upon the deaf-mute and afterwards upon the minor, he invalidate the deaf-mute, for perhaps the acquisition of the minor was a complete acquisition, and he invalidated the acquisition of the deaf-mute which is an acquisition with something leftover. But there are books that have the reading – if he comes upon the minor girl, for we decree that because of when he came upon the deaf-mute girl and afterwards came upon the minor.

רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר בְּכֻלָּן מְלַמְּדִין. וַהֲלָכָה כְּרַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

ר' אליעזר אומר בכולן מלמדין – And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Eliezer.

יִגְדְּלוּ זֶה עִם זֶה. וְאֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לְגָרְשָׁהּ עַד שֶׁיַּגְדִּיל, דְּגֵט קָטָן אֵינוֹ גֵּט:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

יגדלו זה עם זה – and he is not able to divorce her until he grows up, for the Jewish divorce bill of a minor is not a Jewish divorce bill.

הַיְבָמָה שֶׁאָמְרָה בְּתוֹךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם. שֶׁכְּנָסָה הַיָּבָם, לֹא נִבְעַלְתִּי לַיָּבָם, וְהוּא אוֹמֵר בְּעַלְתִּיךְ וְדַיֵּךְ בְּגֵט, כּוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ לַחֲלֹץ, דְּהִיא נֶאֱמֶנֶת, דְּעַד תְּלָתִין יוֹמִין מוֹקֵי אִינִישׁ נַפְשֵׁיהּ וְלֹא בָּעִיל:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

היבמה שאמרה בתוך שלשים יום – that the levir took her in marriage, I have not had sexual relations with the levir and he states, “I had sexual relations with you,” and it is enough for you with a Jewish bill of divorce, they force him to perform Halitzah for she is believed that up to thirty days, we establish that a person sustains himself and doesn’t engage in sexual intercourse.

לְאַחַר שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם. הוּא נֶאֱמָן, דְּלֹא מוֹקֵי אִינִישׁ נַפְשֵׁיהּ מִלִּבְעֹל יוֹתֵר מִשְּׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם. וּמִיהוּ אִיהִי לֹא מִשְׁתַּרְיָא, דְּשַׁוִּיתָהּ אֲנַפְשָׁהּ חֲתִיכָה דְּאִסּוּרָא, וּבַעְיָא חֲלִיצָה, וּמְבַקְּשִׁים מִמֶּנּוּ שֶׁיַּחְלֹץ, אֲבָל לֹא כּוֹפִין, דְּהָא הוּא אוֹמֵר שֶׁבָּעַל. וְהָא דְּכוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ לַחְלֹץ תּוֹךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם וּמְבַקְּשִׁין אוֹתוֹ לַחְלֹץ לְאַחַר שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם וְאֵין כּוֹפִין וּמְבַקְּשִׁים לְיַבֵּם, מוֹקֵי בַּגְּמָרָא כְּגוֹן שֶׁגֵּט יוֹצֵא מִתַּחַת יָדָהּ, שֶׁכֵּיוָן שֶׁנָּתַן גֵּט לְזִקָּתוֹ נִפְסְלָה עָלָיו, וּמִיהוּ בַּעְיָא חֲלִיצָה לְמִשָּׁרְיָהּ לְעָלְמָא. וְאִי אָמְרָה הִיא נִבְעַלְתִּי וְהוּא אוֹמֵר לֹא בָּעַלְתִּי, אֵין חוֹשְׁשִׁים לִדְבָרָיו וְלֹא בַּעְיָא חֲלִיצָה:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

לאחר שלשים יום – he is believed that a person does not restrain himself without sexual intercourse for more than thirty days [after his marriage] (see Talmud Yevamot 111b). But, however, she is not permitted and considers herself a piece [of meat] and she is forbidden and requires Halitzah and we request of hi that he perform Halitzah but we don’t for him, for he stated that he had sexual intercourse [with her]. That we force him to perform Halitzah is within thirty days and we request of him to perform Halitzah after thirty days, and we don’t force him and we request that he perform levirate marriage. The Gemara (Tractate Yevamot 112a) establishes such as the example that the Jewish bill divorce leaves from under her hand, for since he gave the Jewish bill of divorce to his levirate relation, she was invalidated to him; but, however, she requires Halizah to make her permissible to the world. But if she herself said, “I had sexual intercourse [with him]” and he states that “I did not have sexual intercourse [with her],” we don’t suspect his words, and she does not require Halitzah.

הַנּוֹדֶרֶת הֲנָאָה מִיְבָמָהּ בְּחַיֵּי בַעְלָהּ כּוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ שֶׁיַּחֲלֹץ לָהּ. דְּלֹא אַסְקָא דַּעְתָּהּ שֶׁיָּמוּת בַּעֲלָהּ וְתִפֹּל לְפָנָיו לְיִבּוּם. וְנוֹטֶלֶת כְּתֻבָּתָהּ:

Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020

הנודרת הנאה מיבמה בחיי בעלה כופין אותו שיחלוץ לה – she did not intend that her husband should die, and that she would fall before him (i.e., the levir) for levirate marriage, and she takes her Ketubah [settlement]. But, after the death of her husband, she rebels and we establish that we write a document stating the wife’s refusal of duties on the sister-in-law waiting for the levir to act and we requires of him to perform Halitzah and to give her Ketubah if he desires, but if he doesn’t want to perform Halitzah and she rebels against him, and she comes to lose her Ketubah [settlement], we force him to perform Halitzah.

אֲבָל לְאַחַר מִיתַת בַּעְלָהּ. הַוְיָא מוֹרֶדֶת, וְקַיְמָא לָן כּוֹתְבִין אִגֶּרֶת מֶרֶד עַל שׁוֹמֶרֶת יָבָם:

מְבַקְשִׁים מִמֶּנּוּ לַחֲלֹץ. וְיִתֵּן כְּתֻבָּתָהּ אִם יִרְצֶה, וְאִם לֹא רָצָה לַחְלֹץ וְהִיא מוֹרֶדֶת בּוֹ וּבָאָה לְהַפְסִיד כְּתֻבָּתָהּ, כּוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ לַחֲלֹץ:
