Pliny - let's play "double jeopardy". Guess how many more places laws on pre-pubescent marriage are referenced under teachings of Shammai and Hilal?
You know: The ones that Jesus referred to when he said to obey what they teach but do not follow what they do?
Didn't they teach you this stuff in "preacher school" or wherever y'all go to learn biblical law and history? No wonder you can't find it. How are you supposed to know who Jesus was referring to if you don't know who the scholars at the time were?
I tell you. There are enough references to fill a Pliny "wall-o-text". Even a wall-o-text that declares a stand-alone bible on one hand and the need for a ministry to fill in the blanks on another.
Homework:
What is the ruling under each school for rejection of a marriage by a "minor"? Can the "minor" reject or not?
Can the "minor" reject the marriage if inherited? It is required that a wife be taken by the brother if her husband dies.
I wonder why there is law on what a "minor" wife has to do to reject a marriage to her brother-in-law on marriages that according to you, never happened?
Stick with Shammai, Hilal, and case law from those before them. That way, you won't "church contaminate" the discussion.
Let's get you started.

How cool is it that
both lived before and during the reign of King Herod? That really clears up EXACTLY who Jesus was referring to when he taught to follow their teaching (but not their works) so I guess you won't be "date-rejecting" their teachings.
Silly rabbit.
