Commentary for Kiddushin 134:12
ואימא אדי ואידי באחות אשה הא לכתחילה הא דיעבד אין הכי נמי
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud now concedes that both verses could be referring only to a wife’s sister. Thus we would know that it is both prohibited ab initio and ex post facto to marry one’s wife’s sister. This will now need to serve as a paradigm for other prohibited sexual relationships. How do we know that in those cases as well, the kiddushin are invalid. Stay tuned!
