<DIV>Has anyone seen a discussion on whether a man can appoint a woman as a
shaliah to mekadesh a bride on his behalf? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>[The point here is that a woman can't be mekadesh a woman, but that's
because kiddushin are not tofsin - not because the ma'aseh kinyan was
improper. However, can she do the ma'aseh kinyan as the sheliha of a
man, where kiddushin are tofsin? Or am I just revealing my
amaratzut?]</DIV>
