BRIEF INSIGHT
AN EXORBITANT RANSOM
The Tana Kama says that the first time a wife is taken captive, the husband must ransom her even for ten times her value. Raban Shimon ben Gamliel says that it is forbidden to ransom captives for more than their value. The Rosh quotes Rabeinu Meir ha'Levi who says that the Tana Kama agrees with Raban Shimon ben Gamliel that in other cases it is forbidden to ransom captives for more than their value. However, in the case of a wife, it is permitted. The wife is an exception for the same reason that a person may ransom himself for all of the money in the world. A wife is the same as the husband himself. Just as a person may ransom himself for any price, he may do the same for his wife.
QUICK HALACHAH
A WOMAN WHO STRAYS FROM HER HUSBAND
A woman who was Mezanah b'Shogeg or was raped is permitted to her husband, whether she was raped by a Jew or a Nochri. If she was raped but it became consensual to the point that she said that had he not raped her she would have hired him, she still is permitted to her husband because she was overcome by the evil inclination. Women who were kidnapped by bandits are permitted to their husbands. If the bandits let them go and they stayed anyway, they are forbidden to their husbands. All of this applies only to the wife of a Yisrael. The wife of a Kohen who was raped is forbidden to her husband because she has become a Zonah, and a Zonah is forbidden to a Kohen. (Rambam, Hilchos Ishus 24:19-21)
