[Avodah] kavua/Rov

[Micha Berger via Avodah]

Also, an AhS Yomi connection...

If a woman had premarital relations and we need to determine if she can
marry a kohein, we follow rov if the man approached her, because that is
kol deparish. However, if she went to the guy, it's qavua. And so, we
need to know if the trist happened in town or in a location people travel
to, what the majority of the men in that town are (SA EhE 6:18, AhS s' 37),
etc...

Tir'u baTov!
