וּמִֽי־הָאִ֞ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־אֵרַ֤שׂ אִשָּׁה֙ וְלֹ֣א לְקָחָ֔הּ יֵלֵ֖ךְ וְיָשֹׁ֣ב לְבֵית֑וֹ פֶּן־יָמוּת֙ בַּמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וְאִ֥ישׁ אַחֵ֖ר יִקָּחֶֽנָּה׃
Dan siapakah orang yang telah bertunangan dengan seorang perempuan tetapi belum mengawininya? Hendaklah ia pergi dan pulang ke rumahnya, supaya jangan ia mati dalam pertempuran lalu orang lain yang mengawininya.”
Jerusalem Talmud Sotah
HALAKHAH: “Who became betrothed”. Not only a young man who married a young woman. From where even a young man who married a widow, a widower who married a young woman, a widower who married a widow? From where? The verse says, “a woman”, of any kind. Why does the verse say, “new”? That excludes him who remarries his divorcee186Babli, 44a.. Rebbi Yose said, this implies that one who marries a sheram187A woman without secondary female sex characteristics who is considered sterile; cf. Yebamot 1:1, Note 65. Her marriage has rabbinic status only. does not return since he has no religious obligation to live with her.
