Kiddushin 52 - Betrothal with Stolen Goods

From the previous teaching about a man who betrothed five women with a basket of figs collected in the Sabbatical year and belonging to the women, we can draw three conclusions:

- One can betroth with the produce of the Sabbatical year, even though it is ownerless while it grows because collecting this produce is allowed;

- If one betroths with stolen goods, even if they are the bride's, the betrothal is invalid;

- A woman can become an agent of betrothal for another woman, even where she also becomes a rival wife.
