<br><br>RRW's Hypothesis [caveta: this is probably based upon one of the Rishonim but I am not sure]:<br>Hazal only use afk'inhu in the presence of a Defective Get. However, in the total absence of a Get, they do not use annulment.
<br><br>I don't enough of shas to confirm this, but in the cases I DO know if seems to hold true. That Hazal use annulment in get on a t'nai or in other conditions which the Get is flawed somehow.<br><br>If my hypothesis is true, then we need no fancy rationalizations to counter flimsy annulments; rather annulments are self-limited anyway.
<br><br>Can anyone help me verify if this hypotheis is true of at least 99% true? <br><br><br><br>-- <br>Kol Tuv / Best Regards,<br><a href="mailto:RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com">RabbiRichWolpoe@Gmail.com</a><br>Please Visit:
