The case: the brother did Yibum too early. The woman afterwards gave birth. We have a Safaik if the child born was a nine-monther from the original husband or a seven-monther from his brother, the child is definitely Kosher regardless if the Yibum was valid or not. If they're Kohain, the child is eligable to be the Kohain gadol.

Tosfos asks: another Gemara says that if there was a room of ten Kohanim and one seperated himselfs to have relations with a woman. The child from the relations cannot do Avodah. We need the Kohain to be able to trace his linage. So, here too, the child can't know his linage, since he doesn't know which brother he comes from.

Tosfos answers: The Gemara later asks the question. The Gemara answers that it's only a K'nass (a penalty) and they only penalize by Z'nus. here, the father was legally married, so there is no penalty.

Yevamos 36

R' Yochanan holds that the one the owns the produce of a field is the real owner of the field.

Tosfos asks : how does this fit into takanaos Usha that they decreed that a woman cannot sell her "Melug" fields. Although she holds the title of the field, but the husband keeps all the produce. So, according to R' Yochanan the woman anyhow doesn't have the main ownership to be able to sell the fields.

Tosfos answers: that we could say that Takanus Usha was only said for the Shita of Reish lakish, that the one who holds the title is the main owner and not the one who owns the produce.

Alternatively, the man's ownership is weaker than other ownership over the produce, because his whole ownership comes from being married to her. So we consider it somewhat more belonging to her.

Alternatively, we consider his ownership weaker because it's only his because the rabbis decreed it to be.

Another answer: they only decreed Takanas Usha in the case where the husband declines to receive the produce (but still would inherit her.)

R' Meir says that one can also transgress the Issur of carrying on Shabbos (while eating all those Issurim) by walking out on Shabbos and swallow it in a Reshus Harabim.

Tosfos asks why should he be Chayiv? The Gemara exempt people who carry out objects in their mouths, since it's a Shinoi (since most people carry thing in their hands.

Tosfos answers: though most objects are that way, however, food is different, since it's the regular way to carry food in your mouth when you're eating.
