Commentary for Berakhot 108:21
אמר רב יהודה שלשה צריכין שימור ואלו הן חולה חתן וכלה במתניתא תנא חולה חיה חתן וכלה ויש אומרים אף אבל ויש אומרים אף תלמידי חכמים בלילה:
Rab Judah said : Three require guarding, viz. : an invalid, a bridegroom and a bride. In a Baraita it is taught : An invalid, woman in confinement, bridegroom and bride. Some say : Also a mourner; and others add: Also disciples of the wise at night.
