1,497. Effecting Marriage After Divorce, Chalitzah, Conversion and More

Hilchos Ishus 7:14

Let’s say that a man gives a woman two coins and says, “You are consecrated to me through one of these today and through the other after I divorce you.” In such a case, marriage is effected and, if he divorces her, marriage is re-effected. He must divorce her again because of the marriage that is effected through the second coin. However, let’s say that a man gives a woman some object and says that she is consecrated to him through it after he or she converts, after he or she is freed from indentured service, or after her husband or sister dies. In all of these cases, marriage is not effected because he is incapable of effecting marriage with her at the present time.

Hilchos Ishus 7:15

Let’s say that a man tells a woman awaiting yibum that she is consecrated to him after her brother-in-law undergoes chalitzah (the shoe-removal ceremony). In such a case, marriage is effected because even if he were to give her kiddushin right now, marriage would be doubtfully effected.
