Commentary for Kiddushin 139:9
ושמא תאמר ממון פלט תלמוד לומר (הושע ה, ז) עתה יאכלם חדש את חלקיהם ושמא תאמר חלקו ולא חלקה תלמוד לומר חלקיהם ושמא תאמר לזמן מרובה ת"ל חדש מאי משמע אמר רב נחמן בר יצחק חדש נכנס וחדש יצא וממונם אבד
And should you say [only] after a long time - therefore it is said: 'the new moon'. What does this imply? - Said R'Nahman B'Isaac: A month comes and a month goes and their money is lost. Rabbah son of R'Adda also said - others state, R'Salla said in R'Hamnunaðs name: He who ma wife who is not fit for him, Elijah binds him and the Holy One, blessed be He, flagellates him.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Rabbah son of R. Adda adds that if one takes a wife whose lineage is not fit for him just for the sake of money he will have unworthy children. The moral sin of the father will affect his children. He interprets the verse in Hosea as referring to a man who marries a woman with improper lineage.
The children will not only be unworthy, but he will end up losing the dowry he aimed to profit. She, the woman he married, will also lose her own personal money. And they will lose it all within a month.
The children will not only be unworthy, but he will end up losing the dowry he aimed to profit. She, the woman he married, will also lose her own personal money. And they will lose it all within a month.
