(c)... if she gave it or part of it ...
1. ... as a security against a loan or ...
2. ... as a gift (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
(d)The reason for this ruling is - because, once a woman has claimed her Kesubah or part of it, she is no longer entitled to Mezonos.

1. ... a Manah's-worth of property for two hundred Zuz or ...
2. ... property worth two hundred Zuz for a Manah (See Tos. Yom-Tov) - has received her full Kesubah ...
(b)... since she has only herself to blame for the loss.
(c)In the former case, she cannot claim the extra money for herself - because, like a Shali'ach who purchases extra goods with the money that the owner gave him, the excess that she receives belongs to the Yesomim.
9)
(a)Why might this Mishnah be confined to where the Almanah sold Karka?
(b)If she sells objects that have a fixed price, and which the Shali'ach purchased at a cheap price, there is a Safek as to who benefits. What is the Halachah?

(a)This Mishnah might be confined to where the Almanah sold Karka - where the sale-price tends to fluctuate ...
(b)... whereas objects that have a fixed price, and which the Shali'ach purchased at a cheap price, there is a Safek as to who benefits. The Halachah is - that the owner and the Shali'ach split the profit (See Tos. Yom-Tov).

(c)... since she sold it in one go.
11)
(a)According to Raban Shimon ben Gamliel, the sale in the current case is only invalid if the area of the field that she overpaid measures nine Kabin (See Tos. Yom-Tov). What is the significance of nine Kabin?

(c)What does the Mishnah say in a case where an Almanah whose Kesubah is four hundred Zuz sells Karka to the value of a Manah to three purchasers and to a fourth purchaser Karka worth a Manah and a Dinar?
(d)Like whom is the Halachah regarding the Machlokes between the Tana Kama and Raban Shimon ben Gamliel?
11)

Mishnah 6
13)
(a)What does the Mishnah say about a Mema'enes (a Ketanah who walks out of her marriage), a Sheniyah (la'Arayos [mi'de'Rabbanan) and an Aylonis? What do they all have in common?
(b)The reason however differs in each case. Why is there no K'subah for ...
1. ... a Mema'enes?
2. ... a Sheniyah?
3. ... an Aylonis?
(c)Why did the Chachamim penalize specifically the Sheniyah (rather than her husband)?
(d)Neither are the above-mentioned women entitled to claim Peiros, Mezonos and Bela'os. What does the Tana mean by ...
1. ... 'Peiros'?
2. ... Bela'os?
13)
(a)The Mishnah rules that a Mema'enes (a Ketanah who walks out of her marriage), a Sheniyah (la'Arayos [mi'de'Rabbanan) and an Aylonis - cannot claim their Kesubah ...
(b)... a ...
1. ... Mema'enes - since she was the one to walk out ...
2. ... Sheniyah - because the Chachamim penalized her, and ...
3. ... an Aylonis - because it was a Mekach Ta'us (a negated sale).
(c)The Chachamim penalized specifically the Sheniyah (rather than her husband) - because, seeing as she stands to lose nothing (since a. she remains permitted to marry a Kohen and b. her children do not become Pasul (See also Tos. Yom-Tov), she was probably the one to convince her husband to marry her.
(d)Neither are the above-mentioned women entitled to claim ...
1. ... Peiros - the fruit from her property that her husband and Mezonosa and ...
2. ... Bela'os (the clothes that her husband used [See also Tos. Yov-Tov]).
14)
(a)Seeing as a Mema'enes receives Mezonos up to the time that she walks out, what does 'Ein lah Mezonos' mean?
(b)What is the equivalent Din regarding a Sheniyah and an Aylonis?
(c)Which Bela'os are all three not entitled to claim?
(d)What about Bela'os that are still there?
(e)And what is the equivalent Din regarding a woman who committed adultery?
14)
(a)Since a Mema'enes receives Mezonos up to the time that she walks out, 'Ein lah Mezonos' must refer - to where she borrowed money for Mezonos (from which the husband is now exempt from paying back).
(b)The equivalent Din regarding a Sheniyah and an Aylonis is - that they cannot claim Mezonos at all (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
(c)The Bela'os that all three are not entitled to claim are - her clothes that have been used up.
(d)The Bela'os that are still there - they are all permitted to claim ...
(e)... seeing as even a woman who committed adultery may claim them.
15)
(a)The Bela'os that both a Mema'enes and an Aylonis lose incorporate both Nechsei Milug (for whih the husband does not take responsibility) and Nechsei Tzon Barzel (for which he does). How about a Sheniyah?
(b)On what condition may an Aylonis claim her Kesubah?
15)
(a)The Bela'os that both a Mema'enes and an Aylonis lose incorporate both Nechsei Milug (for whih the husband does not take responsibility) and Nechsei Tzon Barzel (for which he does). The Sheniyah however - may claim the Bela'os of Nechsei Tzon Barzel (See Tos. Yom-Tov).
(b)An Aylonis may claim her Kesubah - if her husband was aware before he married her that she was an Aylonis.
16)
(a)What does the Tana say about an Almanah who is married to a Kohen Gadol, a Gerushah or a Chalutzah to a Kohen Hedyot and a Mamzeres or a Nesinah to a Yisrael, concerning the Din of Kesubah?
16)
(a)The Tana rules that an Almanah who is married to a Kohen Gadol, a Gerushah or a Chalutzah to a Kohen Hedyot and a Mamzeres or a Nesinah to a Yisrael - are all authorized to claim their respective Kesubos (See Tos. Yom-Tov & Tiferes Yisrael).
