Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, Siman 145

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

The Kitzur permits marrying a fitting girl who has money, but only when the money is given with a full heart. Putting off marriage to wait for money, or holding back over a dowry that fell through, is what the Kitzur calls marrying for money. Citing the Gemara in Kiddushin, the Kitzur warns that such a marriage brings children who are not fitting. The Kitzur then turns to whom a kohen may marry, the waiting before a widow or divorcee remarries, and marriages barred by earlier suspicion.

Key points

• The Kitzur teaches that blessing comes into a home only on account of the wife.
• The Kitzur forbids a husband to stay with his wife when she has no kesubah.
• The Kitzur forbids a kohen to marry a divorcee, a zonah, a challah or a chalutzah.
