Is it true that if an Eid Echad is proven to have lied once than he (or she)
is not ever believed again? IIRC, as far as the Ne'emanus of a Shochet is
concerned, there is a mechanism whereby a Shochet who lied can be
rehabilitated. I'm not sure that even would be necessary in the case of an
Eid Echad (Chazal were clearly Machmir in the case of a Shochet), but even
if it were, the man could reasonably wait - in the case of Daas Moshe - for
his wife to be believed again.
