halacha - Ceremony to take a woman as a concubine (pilegesh)?


This question sparked a lively discussion and debate on this rather sensitive issue.


One piece of the original question was:





  • What ceremony / ritual must be performed (if any) to formally designate a woman as a specific man's pilegesh?





  • What ceremony / ritual must be performed (if any) if/when the couple wants to dissolve the pilegesh relationship?





No one ever provided an answer. I am looking for one of two things:




  • Evidence that a specific ritual is used to acquire a pilegesh





  • Evidence that no specific ritual is required to acquire a pilegesh




Also, if the ritual includes a written document, what is written into this document?


(There seemed to be general agreement over here that a pilegesh does not receive a ketubah).
