A woman can be betrothed, a woman can be
married by giving her something of
value, and it only [music] has to be
worth a prutah, a nickel, penny. It's a
very, very small amount. Kids are
fascinated with this, and as a joke,
they'll go over to a girl during recess
and and say to their two friends,
[music] cuz you have to have witnesses
for marriage, "Hey, you guys be my
witnesses." All right,
they shove the the nickel or the piece
of gum
into the girl's hands, and the whole
question is, does the woman need a get?
Does she have to cover her hair? The
usual answer B'nei Yisrael is that if
it's very, very clear that it is a joke,
and nobody understands it to be serious,
so even if they went through the
ceremony, it doesn't make it [music]
marriage.
