Commentary for Yevamot 115:1
לרבי מאיר דאמר קדושין פסלי חופה נמי פסלה לר' אלעזר ור' שמעון דאמרי קדושין לא פסלי חופה נמי לא פסלה
According to R. Meir who holds that the betrothal causes ineligibility, the bridal chamber<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Even in the absence of betrothal. ');"><sup>1</sup></span> also causes ineligibility, while according to R. Eleazar and R. Simeon who maintain that betrothal causes no ineligibility the bridal chamber also causes no ineligibility. But whence [is this proved]? Is it not possible that R. Meir advanced his view only there, in respect of betrothal, whereby <i>kinyan</i> is effected, but not in respect of the bridal chamber whereby no <i>kinyan</i> is effected!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The bridal chamber alone without the additional kinyan of money, deed, or cohabitation is of no validity.
