Translation:Shulchan Aruch/Even ha-Ezer/41

Paragraph 1- One can marry many women at once, so long as is there a perutah for each one of them. One woman can accept the marriage for all of them with their consent.

Paragraph 2- If one marries two women simultaneously whom he is prohibited to be married to both of them, they would not be married. How so? If one married a woman and her daughter or two sisters simultaneously, by saying “you are both married to me,” they would not be married, and neither woman would require a get. If he only married one of them and did not specify which one, such as where he said to a father, “one of your daughters shall be married to me,” and the father accepted the marriage, or if there were two or three sisters and he appointed one of them to be an agent to accept the other’s marriage and he gave it to her and said “one of you should be married to me,” they would all need a get from him and he is prohibited from having a sexual relationship with any of them because she may be his wife’s sister.

Paragraph 3- If one married many women simultaneously, and there were two sisters or a mother and daughter among them, and he said “those whom are permitted to have sexual relations with me are married to me,” all the women would be married to him except for the two sisters or the mother and daughter and anything similar. There are those who say that even the non-relatives would not be married. Thus, the non-relatives’ marriage is uncertain. If he said “one of all of you shall be married to me,” all the non-relatives and sisters would be uncertainly married.

Paragraph 4- If there was a maidservant, gentile woman or prohibited relation like such a married woman, his daughter or sister or anything similar among the women, and he said “one that is permitted to have sexual relations with me shall be married to me,” the other women would be married. If he said “you shall all be married to me,” the other women would have an uncertain marriage.
