Abstract
Let , and let be a family of non-empty sets of edges in a bipartite graph. If the union of every members of contains a matching of size , then there exists an -rainbow matching of size . Replacing by , the result is true also for , and it can be proved (for all ) both topologically and by a relatively simple combinatorial argument. The main effort is in gaining the last , which makes the result sharp.
