If a priest betroths a woman with his portion of the sacrificial offering, whether most holy (such as burnt-offering and sin-offering) or an offering of lesser holiness (such as peace and thanks-offering), she is not betrothed. The portions allotted to the priest and the owner of the offering are not theirs but rather Divine property, which they are merely permitted to eat.But it may be asked, how can a woman come into the Inner Temple courtyard to accept Kiddushin? Her father can accept her Kiddushin, she can appoint an agent, or she can force her way in!
