Ilya Pittel asks:

Hi,

I use your full review daily, thank you!

Don't understand point 12a on this daf. What if the rumors are just rumors? In any event why the laws of Lashon ha'Rah are on hold in the case of "Gimel and Shin" ?

Ilya Pittel, Israel

Sholom Rav.

I apologize for the delay in answering.

The Rambam writes in Hilchos Sanhedrin, 24:5 that Beis-Din are authorized to give lashes to someone about whom ongoing rumors are spreading that he has committed adultery.
