In some cases of Zikas Yibum, there is a Rabbinic prohibition against their doing Yibum (eg. the deceased husband's brother is a Mamzer, cf. Shulchan Aruch Even Haezer 174) and as such they must perform Chalitza.
What if in such a case all the brothers could not perform Chalitza for practical reasons (eg. none of them have legs, cf. Shulchan Aruch Even Haezer 169).
Could the brother who's a mamzer do Yibbum (according to sefardim who allow Yibbum and even according to Ashkenazim as there is no option of chalitza) or would she be left an aguna?
