Description

-- Why bi'ah in erusin stage would be only isser d'rabbanan. -- Lo Sasur and the authority of rabbis to fully realize the vision of the Torah's commandments. -- The ill-defined status of nisuin as opposed to the well-defined status of kiddushin/erusin and the arguments that emerge from that murkiness. -- The Talmudic and Rishonic debate whether the ketubah is a Torah or rabbinic institution, as based on the Talmudic discussion Ketubot 10a. -- The source of "k'mohar habesulos". -- The possibility in the acharonim that both sides accept parts of the other's halachic implications. -- Why the Rambam includes "ketubah" in the mitzvah of marriage in Sefer HaMitzvot, implying it is a Torah institution.
