daf bit: Ketuvot 103

Dec 13, 2007 09:07

The mishna teaches: should a widow say "I have no desire to move from my husband's house", the heirs cannot tell her to go back to her father's house, even if they promise to pay her maintenance. Rather, they must maintain her in her husband's house. The gemara adds that she may use not only her husband's house but also his bondsmen, the silver and gold utensils, and the furnishings, just as during his lifetime. (103a)
