「……是为了在转房诫命不适用之处许可同室妻。」
to permit a rival wife in a place where the mitzva of levirate marriage is not applicable.

理由是什么?就是说,这是怎样推出来的?
What is the reason, i.e., how is this inferred?

经上说:「与她。」意思是:在「她丈夫的兄弟当与她同房」这项义务适用之处,同室妻受禁;而在「她丈夫的兄弟当与她同房」这项义务不适用之处,同室妻是许可的。
The verse states: “With her.” In other words, it is in a place where the obligation “her brother-in-law will have intercourse with her” is applicable that a rival wife is prohibited, whereas in a place where the obligation “Her brother-in-law will have intercourse with her” is not applicable, a rival wife is permitted.
注:「与她」指利未记 18:18 的 עָלֶיהָ,与申命记 25:5「与她同房」(יָבֹא עָלֶיהָ)同字,故以后者限定前者。
