A child whose mother is known, but not the father, was known as "silent one" (Hebrew: shetuki), and fell into the same category as a foundling; [19] this status, however, could be changed if the mother knew and revealed the identity of the father. [19] The mamzer status is hereditary – a child of a mamzer (whether mother or father) is also a ...
This is not necessarily the same definition as a bastard by other societies, as it does not include a child of an unmarried woman.) [38] As a mamzer is excluded from the assembly (Deuteronomy 23:3), the Talmud forbids a marriage by an ordinary Jew to a mamzer. [39]
