Translation:Mishnah/Seder Nashim/Tractate Kiddushin/Chapter 3/8

Hebrew Text

קידשתי את בתי קטנה,

קידשתיה וגירשתיה כשהיא קטנה,

והרי היא קטנה —

נאמן.

קידשתיה וגירשתיה כשהיא קטנה,

והרי היא גדולה —

אינו נאמן.

נשבית ופדיתיה

בין שהיא קטנה בין שהיא גדולה, —

אינו נאמן.

מי שאמר בשעת מיתתו,

יש לי בנים — נאמן;

יש לי אחים — אינו נאמן.

המקדש את בתו סתם —

אין הבוגרת בכלל.
