1. The orphaned underage girl who was married off by her mother or brothers, who repudiated her husband before reaching adulthood (cf. Yebamot 1:2, Note 118). By walking out, she (Yebamot Mishnah 13:4).
In all Babli mss. and in all Mishnah mss. of the Babylonian tradition, instead of “the orphan” one reads outright הַמְמָאֵנֶת “the repudiating”. Cf. The Babylonian Talmud with Variant Readings, Kethuboth II, p. תיד, Note 59. The Yerushalmi version must have been the original one since the Babli, 100b, discusses whether the Mishnah implies that no minor can claim a ketubah.
2. She is her husband’s relative but not a close one; her marriage is valid by biblical standards but considered incestuous by rabbinical rules; Yebamot 2:4, Note 67. But since the marriage is valid by biblical standards, her children are not bastards. She is denied a ketubah in order to induce her to refuse the marriage from the start.
3. The infertile female who lacks secondary female sex characteristics; cf. Yebamot 1:1, Note 65. If she was married underage and failed to become an adult physically, the husband may claim that he entered the marriage thinking that she was fully female and that, therefore, the marriage transaction was in error and invalid.
4. The husband does not have to return the usufruct he had from her dowry during the existence of the marriage.
5. He is not responsible to replace depreciated goods brought as her dowry.
6. Not only ketubah, but all other payments due to the divorcee or widow, since the marriage certainly was valid.
7. The High Priest is forbidden to marry her (Lev. 21:14); she is not forbidden to marry him but she is barred from eating sanctified food and her children are desecrated from the priesthood. By biblical decree, she and her children are desecrated. This is punishment. Her marriage is biblically valid; there is no rabbinic reason to deny her the ketubah and the benefits accruing automatically to a wife.
8. He is forbidden to marry her (Lev. 21:7); she is not forbidden to marry him but she is barred from eating sanctified food and her children are desecrated from the priesthood.
9. The bastard is forbidden by biblical law to marry an Israelite girl (Deut. 23:3, cf. Yebamot 1:5 Note 176; 4:15 Note 211), the Gibeonite by an old popular tradition ascribed to King David (Yebamot 2:4, Note 72). By Mishnah Qiddušin 3:14, in both cases the children inherit the status of the partner with the lower status.
