Halakhah for Sanhedrin 56:17
אלא הכי קאמר חורגו לבדו אבל גיסו הוא ובנו וחתנו ואתא ר' יוסי למימר גיסו לבדו וכ"ש חורגו ומתני' ר' יהודה ברייתא ר' יוסי
a designation which cannotbe applied to a betrothed wife.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The root meaning of [H] is 'flesh relationship,' and hence excludes a betrothed wife. Cf. Mek. on Ex. XXI, 10: [H] means marital duty. ');"><sup>26</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
Regarding the matter of one who was a relative and became distant (no longer a relative), we hold that he is proper (Sanhedrin 28b); and even if there are sons there - as the law is not like Rabbi Yehudah, who holds that if there are sons there, he is disqualified.
