Kiddushin 63 - The Father of the Bride Has a Say

If a man says to a woman: "Become betrothed to me on condition that my father does not protest," and the father dies without protesting, the woman is betrothed. If the son dies, the father should protest retroactively so that the woman avoids levirate marriage.

If the father of a girl declared: "I gave my daughter in betrothal, but I do not know to whom," and a man came and said, ""I am the one," he is believed. If two men came, both of them should give a Get. If they wish, one gives a Get, and the other marries her.
