So we had just learned before that chalitza has to happen after three months of death.
We need a full three-month period after the husband dies before chalitza or yivom happens.
That's because we have to see whether or not the yivom is pregnant.
If she's pregnant and she cares at full term and the baby lives, he's a ben kayama, so there's no need for Let's say he did chalitza within three months.
Does he have to do chalitza again after three months? It turns out that she wasn't pregnant after three months.
Do we say that retroactively he was valid and let's just leave it? Or does he have to redo the chalitza? The answer is...
Now, Rav Mano Amar La Stam, Rav Mano said the following thing, Stam meaning just in his own name.
He was inclined to say this in Rabia Yechanon.
This is Rav Meir, Rav Meir, Rav Meir, Rav Meir says, the islandess because maybe she's going to end up being an islandess as we already know an islandess is a woman who's not able to have children and if it turns out that she's an islandess that means she was never chaiven yibam or chalitza and if he did yibam to her that means he married his brother's wife because there's no mitzvah and that's obviously a big problem therefore no doing chalitza or yibam to Iktana and we have to wait until she becomes a gedaila in order to determine whether or not she's an Aylanis, and only then she can have Chalitza.
And what do we see from here? Just like you say over there, that even though she did Chalitza beforehand, she still has to do Chalitza again, even though we could say that there's a rive.
The majority of women are not Aylanis, and really the original Chalitza should be viewed as 100% valid.
Still, Rav Meir requires another chalitza to happen after she becomes a gedaila.
Even though she got a chalitza beforehand, she still needs to do another chalitza after the nine months.
