Paragraph 2- Any family has the presumption of a good lineage and he's permitted to marry her in the first instance. Nevertheless, if you see two families that always irritate one another [Isserless: or two individuals that irritate one another] or you see a family that argue always or you see a man that argues disputes with everyone and especially brazen, then we should suspect their lineage and it is fitting to distance oneself from them because these are disqualifying characteristics.
