The rabbis are discussing blemishes: if a woman discloses that she has a blemish and the man accepts that blemish before the betrothal and/or before the marriage, he cannot claim later that the blemish is cause for divorce. But what is a blemish?
The rabbis discuss blemishes of women's bodies: moles on the face, moles with hairs, and low speaking voices.
We explore moles and their consequences, as well as the halachic controversy surrounding cosmetic surgery.
