''' | '''Masekhet Yevamot''' has 16 chapters and 121 pages. The subject of this masechet deals with the laws of ''yibum'' (levirate marriage) and chalitzah (the ceremony releasing a woman from yibum), and the laws regarding marrying women whose husbands' whereabouts have been lost. | ||
The Mishnah also deals with the specific details of the laws of yibum. Among them: maamar yevamin, which is a form of betrothal specific to a yevamah (the widow requiring yibum). The manner of this betrothal: he gives her money or something of value, and says to her: "Behold, you are betrothed to me with this maamar yevamin." According to Beit Shammai, maamar constitutes a complete marriage (according to Rashi, this is rabbinical, and according to Tosafot, it is Torah law). According to Beit Hillel, this marriage is not complete, but rather a rabbinic enactment that one should betroth the woman before yibum, so that yibum should not be performed in an immodest manner - through intercourse without prior betrothal and seclusion. | The Mishnah also deals with the specific details of the laws of yibum.
