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. -----------------------------------After writing the above paragraph, it occurred to me that there is no problem. The case of an unmarried woman is where people do not say anything, and so we believe her even against the fact that the majority of people in the city are pasul. The case of the betrothed woman with her betrothed husband is where people do say something, and therefore, we do not believe her. The question comes up in the cases of a wife of a kohen or she was betrothed before three. There, we believe her because of a status quo or migo, and pay no attention to people in the city. There everyone is clearly pasul since she was betrothed but still, we believe her in terms of the ketuba. If she herself is believed in terms of being permitted to a kohen is an argument. So, why do we not care what people say? They could say the sex was not forced, and therefore she would be forbidden. ---------------------------After writing the above paragraph, it occurred to me that there is no problem.

The question comes up in the cases of a wife of a כהן or she was betrothed before three. There, we believe her because of a חזקה or מיגו, and pay no attention to people in the city. There everyone is clearly פסול since she was betrothed but still, we believe her in terms of the כתובה. If she herself is believed in terms of being permitted to a כהן is an argument. So, why do we not care what people say? They could say the sex was not forced, and therefore she would be forbidden. [[an Israeli wife who has had sex with anyone besides her husband is forbidden to her husband unless the sex was against her will. however, a kohen's wife who has had sex with anyone besides her husband even by rape is forbidden to her husband. also, a betrothed woman is legally married.
