Talmud for Yevamot 14:1

ותני ר' חייה כן וכולן אם יכולות להינשא לאחין שלא בעבירה צרותיהן פטורות מן החליצה ומן היבום. תני רבי חייה אין צרה אלה מאח בלבד. אמר ר' יוסי מתניתא אמרה כן מפני שהן נשואות לאחרים צרותיהן מותרות. ר' ירמיה בעי ותהא צרה מן השוק. אמר ר' יוסה לא שמיע רבי ירמיה הדא דתני רבי חייה לא שמיע למתניתין מפני שהן נשואות לאחרים צרותיהן מותרות. חזר ומר אין דשמיע אלא כאינש דשמיע מילה ומקשי עלה. ר' ירמיה בעי הבא על הצרה מהו שיהא חייב עליה משום אשת אח. אמר רבי יוסי אילו איפשר לצרה בלא אשת אח יאות. איפשר לאשת אח בלא צרה. איפשר לצרה בלא אשת אח. ואשת אח לא יבמתו היא. אמר רבי יוסה בי ר' בון תיפתר שהיה לה בנים מאחים:

Jerusalem Talmud Ketubot

HALAKHAH: “Even though they said that a virgin collects 200,” etc. How does he become indebted to her? Do not Rebbi Joḥanan and Rebbi Simeon ben Laqish both say, if somebody writes a debenture for another person under the assumption that he owes him and it turns out that he does not owe, [he does not have]⁴From the parallel text in Halakhah 12:1, required by the context. If the addition is not valid for the woman who becomes a widow before her definitive wedding, why is the additional gift ever enforceable in court? Can the heirs not argue that the deceased never was obligated to pay the addition and, therefore, his estate is not required to pay? to give to him! He wants to give much to be called X’s son-in-law⁵The addition is payment for value received; this makes it an enforceable obligation.. That is, if he decided this⁶To add to the obligatory amount of the ketubah. at the time of the preliminary marriage. What if he decided this⁶To add to the obligatory amount of the ketubah. at the time of the definitive marriage? He wants to give much for sexual relations with her, which are sweet⁷Old German law knew of a similar gift, called Morgengabe, “gift on the morning (after the nuptials)”; Latin dotalicium. This is the only reason accepted by the Babli, 56a.. That is if he slept with her. If he did not sleep with her? He wants to give much for the acquisition⁸The marriage which is called “acquisition”. he made. If he had decided at the preliminary marriage, at the definitive marriage, he already is called X’s son-in-law, sexual relations are nothing new, there is no new acquisition; from thereon⁹I. e., if the husband should add to the ketubah sum while married, what makes that addition enforceable? he wants to give much that she should not change her mind¹⁰But stay married to him.. But can she? Was it not stated¹¹Mishnah Yebamot 14:2. In strict talmudic law, divorce is a unilateral act by the husband though in cases of spousal abuse the court can force a divorce by punishing the husband “until he says, I want [to divorce]”. Otherwise, the wife cannot force a divorce. that “a man divorces only by his own will”? Rebbi Abin said, she makes his life miserable and he frees her¹²Nobody says that she needs a court to get a divorce..
