[Avodah] Sheva Brochos

[Shayna Livia Korb]

I assume you mean the gemara in kesuvos 7...
I recently was learning this gemara, and I don't think that it's clear that
the couple is necessarily "entitled" to three days, but I think the idea
that they can't have any sheva brachos at all is very strange. I'm not
looking at it, but I think that the gemara basically says that there is no
such thing as a besula who has less than 7 days, and no almana who has less
than 1. Maybe the rav thinks that a gerusa gets less than an almana, but I
thought the gemara was using those cases to illustrate the  extreme
boundaries - and to bring out a juxtaposition between marriage and death.
