(4) The High Priest may not marry a widow, either a widow from marriage or a widow from betrothal, and he may not marry a bogeret [a girl past the age of twelve years and six months]. Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon allow him [to marry] a bogeret. He may not marry a woman [who is not a virgin due to being] wounded by a piece of wood [in her vagina]. [If] he has betrothed a widow and [subsequently] is elected High Priest, he may marry [her]. It once happened that Yehoshua ben Gamla betrothed Marta bat Baytos, and the king appointed him High Priest, and he married her. If a woman who was a Shomeret Yavam [the widow of a childless man whose brother-in-law has not yet married her nor released her from the obligation of Levirate marriage] was awaiting [Yibum - Levirate marriage wherein a man weds his childless brother's widow] from a common priest and he was appointed High Priest, he may not marry her even if he's performed Ma’amar [semi-betrothal of a Yevama widow through money or a document]. [If] the brother of a High Priest dies he undergoes Chalitzah but does not perform Yibum.
(5) A common priest may not marry an aiylonit [a woman with arrested sexual development who cannot bear children] unless he [already] has a wife and children. Rabbi Yehudah says: He may not marry an aiylonit even if he [already] has a wife and children because she is the zonah mentioned in the Torah. But the Sages say: By zonah the Torah refers to a convert, or a freed maidservant, or a woman who had licentious relations.
(6) One may not abstain from procreation unless he [already] has children. Beit Shammai say: [One must have] two boys, and Beit Hillel say: [One must have] a boy and a girl, as it says, "Male and female He created them" (Bereishit 5:2). [If] one married a woman and waited for ten years and she did not bear children, he is not permitted to abstain [from his obligation]. [If] he divorced her she is permitted to marry somebody else, and the second [husband] is permitted to wait ten years with her. And if she miscarries he counts [ten years] from the point she miscarried. A man is commanded to procreate but a woman is not. Rabbi Yochanan ben Beroka says: It states to both of them, "And God blessed them and He said to them... be fruitful and multiply" (Bereishit 1:25).
