A deaf-mute woman is not entitled to a ketubah. Why not? What is the rationale? It seems to be left to the husband to decide. Illustrated by a story of R. Malkiyu, who established a ketubah for a deaf-mute woman, even though it wasn't mandated. Also, exploring the deaf-mute man who cannot divorce his wife, but the deaf-mute woman can be divorced - which is the the obvious case here? Note, not only is marriage considered different when it comes to men and women, but that is also the case for divorce. Also, with additional implications for the talmudic deaf person.
