"Tav Lemitav Tan Du Mi-Lemitav Armalu: An Analysis of the Presumption," Halperin-Kaddari, Ruth. Edah Journal, 4:1, 2004.
Synopsis: The presumption known as tav lemeitav tan du mi-lemeitav armalu (better to dwell as two than to dwell alone) is at times used to counter a claim by a woman that a marriage should be voided on the basis of an error. This article traces the development of the tav lemeitav presumption, examining its talmudic origin with its rationale through Rashi and the Tosefot, its development in responsa literature, eventually focusing on the analyses of Rabbis Y.

Linzer, Dov
"Kiddushin as Acquisition or as Marriage," Linzer, Dov. Baltimore Regional Conference.
Synopsis: We will look at the institution of kiddushin (betrothal) in the Torah, Mishnah, Talmud and Middle Ages. We will see how this institution began in Biblical times as something akin to acquisition, developed during the Rabbinic Period into a status change and finally emerged as an idea of contract or partnership in the post-Talmudic period. We will conclude by discussing contemporary implications of the way halakha views the marriage relationship.
