7
With regard to one who transfers money by means of a third party for his daughter to purchase a field after she marries, is the daughter allowed to assert control over the money? If she says after she marries: My husband is trustworthy for me, so give him the money to buy the property for me, her wishes are not honored. The third party should execute the agency that was entrusted in his power; this is the statement of Rabbi Meir. Rabbi Yosei says: The daughter has authority: And were it only a field and she wanted to sell it, it could be sold immediately. Just as she would have authority to control the field, she may control the money assigned for her. The mishna qualifies: In what case is this statement said? With respect to an adult woman. But with respect to a minor girl, any action of a minor girl is nothing from a legal standpoint; a minor would have no authority in this matter.
הַמַּשְׁלִישׁ מָעוֹת לְבִתּוֹ, וְהִיא אוֹמֶרֶת נֶאֱמָן בַּעְלִי עָלָי, יַעֲשֶׂה הַשָּׁלִישׁ מַה שֶׁהֻשְׁלַשׁ בְּיָדוֹ, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, וְכִי אֵינָהּ אֶלָּא שָׂדֶה וְהִיא רוֹצָה לְמָכְרָהּ, הֲרֵי הִיא מְכוּרָה מֵעַכְשָׁיו. בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בִּגְדוֹלָה. אֲבָל בִּקְטַנָּה, אֵין מַעֲשֵׂה קְטַנָּה כְלוּם:
ז׳

המשליש מעות לבתו – He [i.e., the father] transferred money in the hands of a third-party for the needs of his daughter to purchase for her a field or a dowry when she gets married.

יעשה שליש כו' – he should purchase/acquire the field and we don’t listen to her for it is a Mitzvah to fulfill the words of the dead person.

וכי אינה אלא שדה – meaning to say, even if the field was already acquired and she wants to sell, she can sell it; therefore we listen to her. And the dispute of Rabbi Yosi and Rabbi Meir is specifically with regard to an adult woman from betrothal. For is she had already gotten married, everyone states that we listen to her, and with a minor also, Rabbi Yosi admits that there is nothing in the actions a minor at all, and we don’t listen to her. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Meir.

המשליש מעות לבתו. מסר מעות ביד שליש לצורך בתו לקנות לה שדה או נדוניא לכשתנשא:

נאמן בעלי עלי. ותנם לו:

יעשה שליש כו׳ יקנה השדה. ואין שומעין לה דמצוה לקיים דברי המת:

וכי אינה אלא שדה. כלומר אפילו כבר נקנה השדה והיא רוצה למוכרה יכולה למכור, הלכך שומעין לה. ופלוגתא דרב יוסי ור״מ דוקא בגדולה מן האירוסין, דאילו לאחר שנישאת דברי הכל שומעין לה. ובקטנה נמי מודה רבי יוסי דאין במעשה קטנה כלום ואין שומעין לה. והלכה כר״מ:

Mishnah 2

Mishnayos Kesuvos Perek 7 Mishnah 1

כתובות פרק ז׳ משנה א׳

1
With regard to one who vows and obligates his wife, prohibiting her from benefiting from him or his property, if his vow will remain in effect for up to thirty days, he must appoint a trustee [parnas] to support her. But if the vow will remain in effect for more than this amount of time, he must divorce her and give her the payment of her marriage contract. Rabbi Yehuda says: If the husband is an Israelite, then if his vow will remain in effect for up to one month, he may maintain her as his wife; and if it will be two months, he must divorce her and give her the payment of her marriage contract. But if he is a priest, then he is given extra time: If the vow will remain in effect for up to two months, he may maintain her, and if it will be three months, he must divorce her and give her the payment of her marriage contract. The reason for this is that it is prohibited for a priest to marry a divorcée, including his own ex-wife, and therefore if he divorces her and later regrets his decision he will not be able to take her back.
הַמַּדִּיר אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ מִלֵּהָנוֹת לוֹ, עַד שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם, יַעֲמִיד פַּרְנָס. יָתֵר מִכֵּן, יוֹצִיא וְיִתֵּן כְּתֻבָּה. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, חֹדֶשׁ אֶחָד יְקַיֵּם, וּשְׁנַיִם, יוֹצִיא וְיִתֵּן כְּתֻבָּה. וּבְכֹהֶנֶת, שְׁנַיִם יְקַיֵּם, וּשְׁלֹשָׁה, יוֹצִיא וְיִתֵּן כְּתֻבָּה:
א׳

המדיר את אשתו מליהנות לו – on the benefit of sexual relations, this vow does not take effect because he is subjugated to her and he doesn’t have the power to cancel his obligation of his subjugation and on the benefit of food, even though he is subjugated to her, we find that the vow exists such as we supply her handiwork for her food. And in the Gemara (Talmud Ketubot 70b), it raises a question: if so, why should he appoint an administrator? And it answers – such as the case that we don’t supply the things that she was accustomed to in her father’s house and for this alone, he should appoint an administrator who will provide for her and not that he sill appoint an agent to support her, for the agent of a person is like that person, but rather, he says, all who support does not cause loss.

יתר מכן יוציא ויתן כתובה – for up to thirty days, people don’t listen and there is no disgrace. More than thirty days, people here and there is disgrace.

בישראל – if he is an Israelite (as opposed to being a Kohen), he can restore his divorced wife.

ובכהנת – for if he disvorces her, he is not able to restore her [as his wife], the Rabbis hive him more time, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.

המדיר את אשתו מליהנות לו. על הנאת תשמיש אין הנדר חל, משום דמשועבד לה ולאו כל כמיניה להפקיע שעבודו. ועל הנאת מזונות אף על גב דמשועבד לה אשכחן דחל הנדר כגון שמספיקין מעשה ידיה למזונותיה. ובגמרא פריך א״כ למה יעמיד פרנס, ומשני, כגון שאין מספיקין לדברים שהיתה רגילה בהם בבית אביה, ועל זה בלבד יעמיד פרנס שיפרנסנה. ולא שיעמיד שליח לפרנסה, שהרי שלוחו של אדם כמותו, אלא שאומר כל המפרנס אינו מפסיד:

יתר מכן יוציא ויתן כתובה. דעד שלשים יום לא שמעי אינשי וליכא זילותא. טפי משלשים יום שמעי אינשי ואיכא זילותא:

בישראל. אם ישראל הוא שיכול להחזיר את גרושתו:

ובכהנת. שאם יגרשנה לא יוכל להחזירה יהבו ליה רבנן זימנא טפי. ואין הלכה כר׳ יהודה:
