There is also another contradiction to the idea that we go with the majority of people in the city and only then we pay attention to what the woman says. That is in laws of forbidden relations chapter 15 laws 11 and 12. There a unmarried woman is found to be pregnant, and she says the father is kosher, she is believed even if most of the people in the city are pasul invalid. This contradicts the law in Yibum chapter 3 law 4 where a woman is found to be pregnant and she and he say the child is from him, we still say the father is in doubt. So there we go by the general area and pay no attention to what she says.-- And in laws of truma 8 law 14 we go only by what people in the city say. That is, we go by the rinun gossip. If most say the child is from a kohen, then Ok. If most say not, then that is the end of that. And there, she says nothing. We just know the sex was with a kohen, and the doubt is perhaps she also had sex with others. ------------------------------There is also another contradiction to the idea that we go with the majority of people in the city and only then we pay attention to what the woman says. That is in הלכות איסורי ביאה פרק ט''ו הלכות י''א וי''ב. There a unmarried woman is found to be pregnant, and she says the father is כשר, she is believed even if most of the people in the city are פסול invalid. This contradicts the הלכות ייבום פרק ג' הלכה ד' ` a woman is found to be pregnant and she and he say the child is from him, we still say the father is in doubt. So there we go by the general area and pay no attention to what she says. And in הלכות תרומה פרק ח' הלכה י''ד we go only by what people in the city say. That is, we go by the רינון gossip. If most say the child is from a כהן, then Ok. If most say not, then that is the end of that. And there, she says nothing. We just know the sex was with a כהן, and the doubt is perhaps she also had sex with others.
