Mesorat%20hashas for Yevamot 44:6

מי שיש לו בן מ"מ פוטר וכו': מכל מקום לאתויי מאי אמר רב יהודה לאיתויי ממזר מאי טעמא דאמר קרא (דברים כה, ה) ובן אין לו עיין עליו:

some kind of husband may defile himself and some kind of husband may not, and how [is this to be understood]? He may defile himself for his lawful wife but may not defile himself for his unlawful wife; and so here it might have been assumed that he may defile himself for a legitimate brother but may not defile himself for an illegitimate brother; hence it was taught [that it is hot so]. Might we still suggest that it is so? In that case she is liable at any moment to be sent away,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The husband is not allowed to live with her.
