[Avodah] tchiyas hameisim/which spouse

[Hankman]

The interesting case at Techias HaMesim is if one married his wife's sister when the 1st wife dies. At Techias HaMesim he is now presented with both wifes who are now both living sisters. I vaguely recall some differing discussion of how this works out. Anyone recall who holds what? If I have the time I will check on Bar Ilan etc.

One of the teirutzim for Yaakov Avinu marrying sisters was that this was kodem matan torah. But after Techias HaMesim that answer won't work - so does Rachel or Leah (if I recall correctly Bilah and Zilpa were also sisters lefi some medrashim) get her man? You might want to say that after geirus (matan Torah or their own in their lifetime?) they are kekatan hanolod dami and retain that status after Thechias HaMesim as well, so they both may get him.
