I would like to attempt a possible answer to what I was answering in my previous blog on the question of Rav Shach on Tosphot. Tosphot asks how do we know that the value of money acquires a woman? Answer the fact that the value of money can acquire a Jewish slave. Question of Rav Shach. That only works in one direction to acquire but to redeem Jewish slave one has to give money to the gentile owner. So, the Gezera Shava is only half of one. Answer the verse itself is talking about redemption of a Jewish slave. That is the major point of the verse. so, we are not ignoring that fact but rather taking notice that redemption of Jewish slave is relevant to redeeming him from an obligation. That part of the verse is not relevant to marrying a woman. In that case getting out of a marriage is with a document of divorcee. The only part of the verse that relates to a woman is the ability of the value of money to cause acquisition. -----------------------------------------------I would like to attempt a possible answer to what I was answering in my previous blog on the question of רב שך on תוספות.
