If one betrothed a woman and subsequently said, "I thought that she was the daughter of a Kohen, but in fact, she is the daughter of a Levi," or vice versa, "I thought that she was poor, but in fact, she is rich," or vice versa - the woman is betrothed, because she did not mislead him.Suppose one performs an act of betrothal and tells a woman, "Become betrothed to me after I convert to Judaism," or "after your husband dies," or "After your sister (my current wife) dies." In all these cases, she is not betrothed even after the specified event takes place.
