		Under the system of levirate marriage known as Yibbum described in the Hebrew Bible, Halizah or Chalitzah (Hebrew: חליצה) was the ceremony by which a widow and her husband's brother could avoid the duty to marry after the husband's death.
		In theory, however, the Biblical law of levirate marriage is still presumed to be in force, and in the ceremonies attending upon Halizah the presumption is that the brother-in-law brings disgrace upon himself and upon his family by refusing to marry his brother's widow.
		All investigations with regard to the parties concerned in the Halizah should be conducted on the previous day, on which both are instructed in the details of the ceremony, and on which the "yebamah" (widowed sister-in-law) is not allowed to partake of any food.

	INTRODUCTION
		CHAPTER II begins with a definition of 'the wife of a brother who was not his contemporary' illustrating the wide application of the laws of exemption from levirate marriage that result therefrom, and indicating the exemptions due to the Rabbinical [page xliii] prohibition of certain marriages.
		Other subjects dealt with include those of a father-in-law who promised a certain amount to his son-in-law and of a father who deposited a sum of money with a trustee for the benefit of his daughter, who wishes it to be handed over to her husband.

	Shavuot - M. Katz
		In our opinion the ritual of halizah described in the Torah is based on ancient transaction methods that dropped out of use in the course of time.
		Just as removing the sandal was an act of transaction signifying giving up a right or ownership, so too, the case of the widow's brother-in-law (yabam): he has a certain relationship to his deceased brother's widow and is interested in severing this relationship, i.e., he does not wish to marry his brother's widow.
		A vestige of the practice survived in the ritual of halizah.

	Babylonian Talmud: Kethuboth 74
		When a levir is told, 'Submit to her halizah on the con dition that she gives you two hundred zuz'.
		If the levir, according to the interpretation of Resh Lakish, performed the halizah in order to effect thereby a kinyan of marriage, he obviously did not intend to perform the commandment of halizah the very purpose of which is not the union of the woman with, but her separation from, the levir.
		As the condition is null and void the act of halizah remains valid despite the unfulfilled condition.

		The question was raised: From which statement did he withdraw?--Come and hear what was taught: R. Eliezer said, A congenital saris submits to halizah, and halizah is arranged for his wife, because cases of such a nature are cured in Alexandria in Egypt.
		Eleazar said: As a matter of fact he did not change his view at all, but that statement was taught in respect [of the age of] punishment.
		It was taught: R. Jose son of R. Judah stated that a tumtum must not participate in halizah, since it is possible that on being operated upon he may be found to be a congenital saris.

	Babylonian Talmud: Yebamoth 26
		If, however, halizah only is performed with one brother and the death of the other should occur before the second widow had performed halizah with him, no difficulty would arise, since the first brother may then participate in the halizah of the second also.
		In this case too the third brother must only participate in halizah; for, should he marry one of the sisters, the other would be forbidden, as the sister of his wife, either to marry him or to perform halizah with him.
		Levirate marriage is no more possible since, in the case of each brother, she is the sister of his haluzah, while exemption from halizah cannot be granted because the prohibition to marry the sister of one's haluzah is only Rabbinical and cannot supersede the Biblical precept which requires halizah where no levirate marriage takes place.

	Babylonian Talmud: Yebamoth 31
		— Were you to say that she was to perform halizah it might also be assumed that she may be taken in levirate marriage.
		That wherever the divorce is doubtful the rival must not perform halizah in order that this performance might not lead also to levirate marriage.
		The levirate marriage of the one cannot exempt the other from the halizah, since it is possible that a ma'amar is invalid and the two widows are consequently of different brothers.

		I.e., it was necessary to teach that an examination for signs of maturity is required before halizah could be allowed to be performed.
		That the gift made by such a youth (of the age and character described in the previous note) is legal, though a sale be contracted is invalid.
		As regards the legality of the sale of an estate inherited from his Father, a youth, if be is not intelligent enough to carry on business transactions, must be twenty years of age, and must also produce signs of maturity.

		the possibility [that her halizah was valid] would have had to be taken into consideration.
		The mention in the context of shoeing of tahash, the use of the skin of which only was recorded in the Scriptures, is taken to imply that the shoe spoken of in the Scriptures was invariably made of a material similar to that of the skin of tahash, viz., leather.

	History of the Shoe
		According to ancient Jewish custom, an unmarried brother-in-law of a childless widow was obliged to marry her.
		Since the sandal was given as a sign of an oath, in the halizah ritual, by publicly untying and removing his shoe, she could release him from that duty.
		Whereas the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans displayed the body, the Christians of the early Middle Ages concealed it, including the foot.
