Hebrew Text

קידשתיך,

והיא אומרת לא קידשת אלא בתי —

אסור בקרובות גדולה,

וגדולה מותרת בקרוביו;

ומותר בקרובות קטנה,

וקטנה מותרת בקרוביו.

English Translation

[One who says to a woman,] "I betrothed you,"

and she says, "You betrothed none other than my daughter" —

the relatives of the older one are forbidden to him,

and his relatives are permitted to the older one;

the relatives of the younger one are permitted to him,

and his relatives are permitted to the younger one.
