A case is brought in which a yabam committed to share his brother's inheritance with his other brother but as opposed to that case in Ketubot 81, he did a kinyan to show he wanted to make sure it was effective.

A husband has rights to the proceeds of his wife's usufruct property ( nichsei melog ). However, once the marriage ends, he has no rights at all. He can get back the money invested only if he was not able to benefit at all from the proceeds. How much does he need to benefit to have it considered that he did not benefit? In the event that he does get back his investment, he needs to swear about how...

A woman gifted her property to her daughter in order that her husband not gain rights to the produce. When the marriage ended, she wanted her property back.

A contradiction is raised against Rabbi Yochanan's p...

Rav and Shmuel disagree in a case where a man betroths a woman with a stipulation that she does not have vows.
