Description

פתח פתוח מצאתי vs טענת דמים regarding undermining תוספת כתובה. The six cases which seem to undermine the credibility of both פתח פתוח מצאתי and טענת דמים. Influence of the gemara's stories on a beit din's practical psak. Specific points expanding on Rav Nachman whipping the chatan (for libel, immorality or disrespect to the beit din) and Rabban Gamliel (III)'s barrel test.
