Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A, who fell sick, gave a bill of divorce to his wife on the condition that it be valid from the time of its delivery if he should die as a result of that sickness. A died as a result of that sickness and the people did not allow his wife to touch him, weep over him, or even walk after his hearse, claiming that such action on her part would invalidate her divorce.
A. The people were wrong. It is not within the province of a wife to invalidate her divorce.
SOURCES: Pr. 857; Mordecai Hagadol, p. 230c.
