(Mishnah): Even though Chachamim said that the Kesuvah of a virgin is 200 and of a non-virgin is 100, one may add even 10,000 if he wants. If she is widowed or divorced, whether from Eirusin or Nisu'in, she collects it all;

R. Elazar ben Azaryah says, from Nisu'in she collects it all. From Eirusin, a Besulah collects 200, and a widow, 100.

He wrote the Tosefes (addition) only on condition that they have Nisu'in.

(Gemara) Question: How did he become obligated to her [in the addition? He is obligated to give only 100 or 200!]

Didn't R. Yochanan and Reish Lakish both say that if one wrote a loan document against his friend with the Chazakah (others understood) that he owes him, and it turns out that he does not owe him, he is not obligated to pay him? (We explained this like MEICHAL HA'MAYIM.)

Answer: He wants to give much and be called the son-in-law of Ploni (his wife's father. Through this Hana'ah, he obligates himself. (SEDEI YEHOSHUA)

Question: This [answer applies] when he stipulated (added) from [after] Eirusin. If he stipulated so from [after] Nisu'in [how can we answer? He is already his son-in-law!]

Answer: He wants to give much due to Bi'ah with her, which was pleasant.

Question: This [answer applies] when he had Bi'ah [with her]. If he did not have Bi'ah [how can we answer]?

Answer: He wants to give much due to the Kinyan that he added (Nisu'in).

Question: If he stipulated after Nisu'in, much later [how can we answer]? To be called his son-in-law - he already is! Due to Hana'ah of Bi'ah - this is not now (the first Bi'ah was a long time ago)! Due to added Kinyan - he did not add anything now!

Answer: He wants to give much lest she retract [from being his wife].

Question: Can she retract?! Was it not taught that a man divorces only willingly!

Answer (R. Avin): She can pain him until he consents to divorce her.

(Beraisa): Just like a husband stipulates, so a father stipulates, but a husband is Mezakeh through writing, and a father is Mezakeh only through words (even if he wrote a document, it does not enable collecting from Meshubadim), and [he is Mezakeh] only matters acquired verbally (SEFER HA'ZECHUS, 61b);

Question: How are [matters acquired verbally]?

Answer (Gidul citing Rav): How much do you give to your daughter? This amount. Once he was Mekadesh her, a daughter merited [what her father pledged] amidst the other daughters (i.e. if she inherits, this is above her share of the inheritance. We explained this like SEDEI YEHOSHUA, ALEI TAMAR.)

(R. Chiya bar Yosef): Gidul could have taught a big Chidush, and he taught a small Chidush!

Rather, how much do you give to your son? This amount. How much do you give to your daughter? This amount. Once he was Mekadesh her, a daughter merited amidst the other daughters, and a son merited amidst the other sons.

(R. Ze'ira): Is this a small Chidush?! Is it not found that he acquires a wife and Metaltelim with a Shaveh Perutah, and a man cannot acquire two wives with a Shaveh Perutah!

Question: What is the Chidush? Does one not acquire land and many Metaltelim with Shaveh Perutah?! (Likewise, he acquires a wife and Metaltelim with Shaveh Perutah!)

Answer: (A woman is unlike land.) One can acquire two lands with Shaveh Perutah, but one cannot acquire two wives with a Shaveh Perutah.

(R. Bun bar Chiyah citing R. Yochanan): How much do you give to your son? This amount. How much do you give to your daughter? This amount. Once he was Mekadesh her, a daughter merited amidst the other daughters, and a son merited amidst the other sons, only if this is the first marriage. (AMUDEI YERUSHALAYIM TINYANA discusses whether this means only the first marriage of the son, or also the first marriage of the daughter.)

This is like R. Chananya said - one who marries off his son in a house, [the son] acquired the house. This is only if it is his first Nisu'in.

(R. Hoshayah - Beraisa): He acquired the Metaltelim [in the house in which he was married], but he did not acquire the house.

Question: Does [R Chananyah] argue [with this Beraisa]?!

Answer (R. Yirmeyah citing R. Avahu): The case [of the Beraisa] is, the father's storehouse was there. (Since he uses it, he did not give the house itself.)

(R. Chizkiyah citing R. Yehoshua ben Levi): [The Beraisa] needs to teach that even if [the Kelim in the house] were borrowed from the market (the son does not acquire the house).

(R. Avahu): If [the father] told [his son] that they are borrowed, the son did not acquire [the house. If he did not tell him, he acquired the house.]

A case came in front of R. Yakov bei R. Bun, and he ruled like R. Avahu.

Objection (R. Ze'ira): This Halachah has no basis, and Rabanan build on (add to) it?!

Question: You say that a father stipulates [to give to his daughter, and she acquires verbally. Is this even if she is a Bogeres?

Answer: We learn from the following. A father stipulates for his daughter, but a woman does not stipulate to [give to] her daughter, nor a brother for his sister.

Is there any difference whether his sister is a Na'arah or Bogeres?! (In either case, she is not in his Reshus!) And here (also regarding her father), there is no difference whether she is a Na'arah or Bogeres.

Question (R. Ba Kartinga): Can someone else [stipulate to give to her]?

Answer: We learn from the following. A father stipulates for his daughter, but a woman does not stipulate to [give to] her daughter, nor a brother for his sister, and all the more so someone else [cannot].

Also for monetary laws, this is so. 'Give your daughter to Ploni, and I will give to you such an amount. Buy field Ploni, and I will give to you such an amount' (this is not acquired verbally).
