An absolute aquisition using an intermediary object.

This is a term from the Talmud, and is used in Halachic acquisitions, such as selling Chamets before Pesach. One lifts up an object such as a pen or handkerchief and gives the other person the goods or rights to deal with something on your behalf.
Example sentence:

יש שני סוגים של קניין בחליפין. האחד הוא "קניין סודר", שהקונה נותן חפץ כל שהוא לידי המקנה - ויש אומרים שהמקנה נותן חפץ לידי הקונה

קנין סודר שעושים בחתונה, שהחתן מתחייב ע”י הקניין בכתובה.

Peer comment(s):
