e/Erusin

Information
has gloss	eng: Erusin is the Hebrew term for betrothal. Although in modern Hebrew erusin means engagement, this is not the classical meaning of the term, which is the first part of marriage (the second part being nesuin). A betrothed woman (arusah) is fully married in the sense that she requires a divorce and that sexual relations with her are a capital crime; however she is also prohibited to her husband, although not with the same severity.
