Kiddushin 75 - October 27, 12 Cheshvan

Study Guide Kiddushin 75

Today's daf is dedicated to the safety of our soldiers and our country. 

There are different opinions on whether having had any forbidden relationship forbids one from marrying a kohen or is it dependent on which type of forbidden relationship. In the last part of the Mishna, Rabbi Eliezer ruled that only a definite mamzer can marry a definite mamzer but if the status is one of doubt, they cannot marry a mamzer or another person whose lineage is in doubt. Rav holds by this opinion but Shmuel does not. This seems to contradict a different debate between Rav and Shmuel regarding an engaged woman whose child's father is unknown. Various explanations are brought to resolve the contradiction.Rabbi Eleazar ruled that a cuti can't marry a cutit. Several explanations are brought to understand this ruling.
