Yonah Rubin asked:
Why can't someone divorce a yevamah that he married with a get?
Yonah Rubin, New York, USA
The Kollel replies:
If he married her through Yibum he can divorce her with a Get, and only with a Get. However, if he has not yet been Meyavem with her, she needs Chalitzah, and not a Get. Therefore, if he married her with Kesef or Shtar (Ma'amar), since he has not yet been Mekayem the Mitzvah of Yibum he may not divorce her with a Get alone, rather he needs Chalitzah along with a Get.
