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.
