(ה) וְאֵלּוּ שֶׁבֵּית דִּין מְקַנִּין לָהֶן, מִי שֶׁנִּתְחָרֵשׁ בַּעְלָהּ אוֹ נִשְׁתַּטָּה, אוֹ שֶׁהָיָה חָבוּשׁ בְּבֵית הָאֲסוּרִין. לֹא לְהַשְׁקוֹתָהּ אָמְרוּ, אֶלָּא לְפָסְלָהּ מִכְּתֻבָּתָהּ. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף לְהַשְׁקוֹתָהּ, לִכְשֶׁיֵּצֵא בַעְלָהּ מִבֵּית הָאֲסוּרִין יַשְׁקֶנָּה:
(1) A betrothed woman and a Shomeret Yavam [widow of childless man whose brother has yet to either marry her or release her from the residual marital bond] do not drink [the bitter waters] and they do not take their Ketubah [monetary settlement payable to a married woman upon divorce or the death of her husband], as it says, "that the woman goes astray while married to her husband," (Numbers 5:29) which excludes a betrothed woman or a Shomeret Yavam. A widow [married] to a high priest, a divorcée or a Chalutzah [widow of childless man whose brother has released her from the residual marital bond] [married] to a common priest, a Mamzeret [offspring of an illegitimate union between a Jewish woman and man] or a Netinah [member of a caste of Temple servants, historically descended from the Gibeonites] [married] to an Israelite, or a daughter of an Israelite [married] to a Mamzer or a Netin--they do not drink [the bitter waters] and don't take their Ketubah.
(2) And these do not drink and do not take their Ketubah: One who says, "I am impure", one of whom witnesses come and say she is impure, and one who says, "I will not drink." If her husband says, "I won't make her drink," or her husband has relations with her on the way [to the Temple], she takes her Ketubah and does not drink. If her husband dies before she drinks: Beit Shammai say, she takes her Ketubah and does not drink. And Beit Hillel say, she does not drink and does not take her Ketubah.
(3) One who is pregnant from a previous marriage and one who is nursing from a previous marriage, do not drink the waters or take their Ketubah. These are the words of Rabbi Meir. The Sages say, he is able to separate from her and return to her after some time. An aiylonit [a woman with arrested sexual development who cannot bear children], an old woman, and one who is not able to give birth, do not drink or take their Ketubah. Rabbi Eliezer says, he is able to marry another wife and to procreate from her. All other women either drink or do not take their Ketubah.
(4) The wife of a priest drinks and is permitted to her husband. The wife of a eunuch drinks. She may be warned with regards to any of the forbidden relations, except for with that of a minor or with one who is not a man.
(5) These are those whom are warned by the court: One whose spouse became deaf or retarded, or was put in prison. Not to make her drink was this said, rather to invalidate her Ketubah. Rabbi Yosi says, even to make her drink; when her husband gets out of prison they make her drink.
