Bava Batra 132: A Woman Receives Property, Apparently with Limits
About this episode
A case where a husband gives his wife the entirety of his property as a gift, not an inheritance, where her ketubah is fundamentally folded into the sum total of his property, as it were. Then a creditor comes along to collect from her. What is she to do? [Who's Who: Rabbi Yehudah Nachtom (the Baker)] Rabbi Yehudah Nachtom has a story that illustrates exactly the question of whether the wife should keep the sum total of the gift. Also, the case of a woman who forfeits the right to her ketubah when her husband gave her land. But why does this (potentially small) piece of land mean she's forfeited her ketubah? The Gemara has a complicated answer.
