12) [line 13] KOL MAKOM SHE'HE'EMINAH TORAH ED ECHAD HAREI KAN SHENAYIM
(a) Although the Torah requires two witnesses to prove a fact in Beis Din, there are three places where a single witness suffices to provide evidence: 1. to prove that a Safek Sotah was unfaithful to her husband after the steps of Kinuy and Stirah have taken place (Sotah 31a, see Background to Yevamos 85b); 2. to prove the identity of a killer in order to exempt the city closest to a disclosed corpse from bringing an Eglah Arufah (Sotah 47a, see Background to Megilah 20b). It is not clear whether the latter case is mid'Oraisa or mid'Rabanan - see Insights to Yevamos 88:1); 3. in order to testify that a woman's husband died so that she may be able to remarry (our Sugya).
(b) In all of these places the witness does not have to be a male who is fit to testify; a woman or a slave who are Pesulim l'Edus may also testify.
(c) If one witness testifies and is contradicted by another single witness, we do not consider the case a Safek. Rather, the first witness is believed, because "any place where one witness is believed he had the authority of two witnesses" with regard to refuting the testimony of the witness who follows him.
(d) If the single witness is contradicted by more than a single witness, sometimes we decide in favor of those who contradict him because they are the majority. See Chart #26.

13) [line 21] ROV DE'OS - the majority of opinions
