אבן העזר ק״הEven HaEzer 105

Se’if 1א׳

יְכוֹלָה אִשָּׁה לִמְכֹּר כְּתֻבָּתָהּ אוֹ לִתְּנָהּ לַאֲחֵרִים, בֵּין כֻּלָּהּ בֵּין מִקְצָתָהּ, וְהַלּוֹקֵחַ וְהַמְקַבֵּל עוֹמְדִים בִּמְקוֹמָהּ, שֶׁאִם תִּתְאַלְמֵן אוֹ תִּתְגָּרֵשׁ יִקְּחוּ הֵם כְּתֻבָּתָהּ, וְאִם תָּמוּת בְּחַיֵּי הַבַּעַל אֵין לָהֶם כְּלוּם. וְאִם מָכְרָה לְבַעֲלָהּ, הַמֶּכֶר מֶכֶר וְאָסוּר לְהַשְׁהוֹתָהּ אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן יִכְתֹּב לָהּ אַחֶרֶת בְּעִקַּר הַכְּתֻבָּה:

A woman is allowed to sell or give to others her marriage contract whether it is all of it or just part of it. The buyer or the receiver take her place that if she should become a widow or a divorcee they get to receive her marriage contract. But if she should die during the lifetime of her husband then they get nothing. If she sold it to her husband, the sale is a sale and there cannot be a delay unless he would write her another one that would be in the spirit of the marriage contract.

Se’if 2ב׳

הַמּוֹכֶרֶת כְּתֻבָּתָהּ לַאֲחֵרִים וּמֵת הַבַּעַל בְּחַיֶּיהָ, אִם מֵתָה קֹדֶם שֶׁנִּשְׁבְּעָה עַל כְּתֻבָּתָהּ אֵין לַלּוֹקֵחַ וְלַמְקַבֵּל כְּלוּם. בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, כְּשֶׁנִּתְאַלְמְנָה וּמֵתָה, שֶׁהִיא לֹא הָיְתָה יְכוֹלָה לִפָּרַע מִן הַיְתוֹמִים אֶלָּא בִּשְׁבוּעָה. אֲבָל אִם נִתְגָּרְשָׁה וּמֵתָה, לָקוֹחוֹת נִשְׁבָּעִים שְׁבוּעָה שֶׁלֹּא פְּקָדַתְנוּ, וְנוֹטְלִים. וְדַוְקָא שֶׁמֵּתָה, אֲבָל אִם הִיא בַּחַיִּים צְרִיכָה לִשָּׁבַע שֶׁלֹּא נִפְרְעָה, וְאִם אֵינָהּ רוֹצָה לִשָּׁבַע יַפְסִידוּ הַלָּקוֹחוֹת. וְאִם אָמְרָה שֶׁנִּפְרְעָה אַחַר שֶׁמָּכְרָה, נֶאֱמֶנֶת, בְּמִגּוֹ שֶׁאִם הָיְתָה רוֹצָה לִמְחֹל. אֲבָל אִם אָמְרָה שֶׁנִּפְרְעָה קֹדֶם הַמֶּכֶר, אֵינָהּ נֶאֱמֶנֶת:

The woman who sells her ketubbah to others and her husband dies in her lifetime, if she died before she swore regarding her ketubbah, the one who bought it and the one who accepted it [do not receive] anything. Regarding what are we speaking? When she is widowed and she died, [in the case] when she was not able to pay [off the debt] from [being upon] the orphans except by oath. But if she was divorced and she died, the purchasers swear an oath that they have not left an order, and they take. And specifically when she died, but if she is alive, she needs to swear that it will be paid, and if she does not want to swear, the purchasers will lose [their money]. If she said that she will be paid after she sells [her ketubbah], she is believed, because if she had wanted to forgive [the debt]. But if she said that it will be paid before the sale, she is not believed.

Se’if 3ג׳

מִי שֶׁמֵּת וְהִנִּיחַ בָּנִים וְאַלְמָנָה, וּמֵתָה הָאַלְמָנָה קֹדֶם שֶׁנִּשְׁבְּעָה עַל הַכְּתֻבָּה, הַבְּכוֹר נוֹטֵל פִּי שְׁנַיִם:

The one who died and leaves children and a widow [behind], and the widow died before she swore [an oath] regarding the ketubbah, the first born takes two times [as much].
