Kiddushin 18 - August 31, 14 Elul

A convert's children, whether or not they converted with him, do not inherit his property as when a person converts, it is as if they are reborn. A braita lists more differences between Jewish male and female slaves and the Gemara explains the cases discussed in the braita as each line is hard to reconcile with other laws relating to slaves. One of the differences mentioned in the braita is that a father cannot sell his daughter more than once. But isn't that true for a male slave as well - that he can't be sold twice. How can this be explained? If the slave is worth more or less than the value of what he stole, can he be sold as a slave? Another difference mentioned in the braita is that a daughter can be redeemed against his will - whose will? The master or the father? It is explained to be against the father's will and is then explained according to Rabbi Shimon's opinion that a father can't sell his daughter more than once. If the master performs ye'ud with the female slave, does that change her status to betrothed or married? What is the relevance of this question? The Gemara brings tannaitic sources to try to find an answer to this question.
