And although if you, Sir, were to count the days [of actual proclamation] it will be only eighteen,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' In sixty days there are eight weeks, containing together sixteen Mondays and Thursdays. If the first week started with a Monday, the four remaining days would include one Monday and Thursday again, which would together amount to the eighteen days, during which the news of such proclamation is made.');"><sup>2</sup></span>
Maharach Or Zarua Responsa
Q - L went to court and demanded the payment of her ketubah from the orphans, who were minors. What is the law?
A - Since upon demanding her ketubah she lost her right to sustenance, she can therefore collect neither her ketubah, nor her sustenance from the orphans who are minors. If, however, we follow the opinion mentioned in the Talmud, that we do enforce collection of a ketubah from minors, in order that the widow find it easier to remarry - then L is entitled to collect her ketubah.
