Responsa for Yevamot 67:10

בשלמא כולהו משכחת להו דשוינהו שליח ושוו אינהו שליח ופגע שליח בשליח אלא נדות היכי משכחת לה

— Surely, in relation to this it was stated that R. Bibi b. Abaye said: We are here speaking of <i>terumah</i><span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Containing 'leaven' or any other hamez. ');"><sup>26</sup></span> on the Eve of Passover when time is pressing.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' After a certain hour on that day all hamez, would have to be burnt. ');"><sup>27</sup></span> If you prefer I might say: [Our Mishnah speaks] of simultaneous prohibitions, and may represent even the View of R. Simeon.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who agrees with R. Meir that simultaneous prohibitions do rank as equal in force, and both may be imposed. ');"><sup>28</sup></span>

Teshuvot Maharam

Q. What is the meaning of the following statement in Yer. Yuma, 1,1: "Those who wed widows must marry them long before sunset in order that they perform no act of possession on the Sabbath day."?
A. The Huppah ceremony is the marriage proper for a maiden, while the essential marital act for the widow who remarries is cohabitation. Therefore, a person marrying a widow must consummate the marriage before sunset (on Friday) lest he first cohabit with her on the Sabbath and thus perform an act of possession on the Sabbath.
