He will kill and not pass over.
If a Gentile or an Israelite comes and threatens a man’s wife or she marries him against his will or he kills Reuben, according to the Maimonides, there is no exemption and the permission of eternal life. Should Midian kill and not pass over, she should not listen to his will to rape her even though Reuben will die because of this and he will also kill and not pass over. Or perhaps not, and she has no permission to save herself from incest by having someone else kill Reuben.
And not blood money 253 in the matter of murder. If a person commands Reuben to kill Shimon, and if not, then he will kill Levi. Here it seems that it is better not to kill Shimon, because in doing so he will also violate the prohibition of murder and one soul will also be lost from the world. But if he does not agree to kill Shimon, then only the soul of Levi will die and he will not be prohibited from murder. And this is not the case in the picture of incest, where on the scale there is only incest on the one hand and on the other hand the loss of a soul that was not his fault.
She does not have to violate the prohibition of the ga’a to save someone else. This is similar to the statement of the Toss about someone who was thrown from a roof down, that he should not lean down to save someone else who is below. The rule is that when there is a soul against a soul, the sho’at will take precedence. In our case, the sho’at means not consenting to incest. This is not only because of the prohibition, but also because her body is in her possession and the other person’s blood is not flushed with the honor of her own body.
Thank you very much for the response.
If I understood correctly, then your intention is to say that even according to the Tosafot, which states that there is a permit for the destruction of the world, it does not have to be obeyed, and even more so according to the Maimonides’ method, which does not state that there is a permit for the destruction of the world. And as you emphasized, it is not the prohibition of incest here that is the obstacle, but rather the right to one’s own body without being corrupted. Strong and blessed
There is only a saying that if the right prevents then it is permissible to give up, but if the prohibition prevents then it is probably absolutely forbidden. Like someone who is required to cut off his own finger so that they don't kill someone else.
