Quotation for Yevamot 99:7

כיצד עשה מאמר ביבמתו ונתן לה גט צריכה הימנו חליצה עשה מאמר וחליצה צריכה הימנו גט עשה מאמר ובעל הרי זו כמצותה

NOR IN A <i>HALIZAH</i> AFTER ANOTHER <i>HALIZAH</i>.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Cf. supra n. 2. The first halizah has finally severed the levirate bond between the levir or the levirs and the widow or the widows. The second halizah is, therefore, valueless. ');"><sup>18</sup></span> THE SAGES, HOWEVER, SAID: A LETTER OF DIVORCE HAS VALIDITY AFTER ANOTHER LETTER OF DIVORCE,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The relatives of the second widow are, therefore, forbidden to the levir (as relatives of his legal divorcee), and the relatives of the one widow are similarly forbidden to the second levir. The first letter of divorce, the Sages maintain, is only partially valid since halizah also is required. The levirate bond consequently is not thereby completely severed and the second divorce brings the widow under the category of a divorced woman. Cf supra 327 n. 1. ');"><sup>19</sup></span> AND A MA'AMAR AFTER ANOTHER MA'AMAR;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' The first ma'amar effected only partial matrimony and the levirate obligations were not fully satisfied before the consummation of the marriage took place. The second ma'amar, since it was made before consummation had taken place, is, therefore, valid. ');"><sup>20</sup></span>

Rashi on Kiddushin

To be his wife for all matters, for if he came to divorce her afterward, she does not need from him halitza rather a bill of divorce [get]. But money or a document do not have the effect of betrothing her from the Torah, rather from the Sages as they instituted an order, as they say in Yevamot. But (money or a document) do not finalize the betrothal to allow him to inherit from her or become impure for her and do not exempt from halitza, rather they make her forbidden to the other brothers.
