Se’if 1א׳

מִתְּנָאֵי כְּתֻבָּה שֶׁתִּהְיֶינָה הַבָּנוֹת נִזּוֹנוֹת מִנִּכְסֵי אֲבִיהֶם אַחַר מוֹתוֹ, עַד שֶׁיִּתְאָרְסוּ אוֹ עַד שֶׁיִּבְגְּרוּ. הַגָּה: אֲפִלּוּ לֹא נִכְתַּב בַּכְּתֻבָּה, אוֹ אֲפִלּוּ אֵין לָהּ כְּתֻבָּה וּבְמָקוֹם שֶׁאֵין כּוֹתְבִין כְּתֻבָּה (טוּר). וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים דַּאֲפִלּוּ בְּמָקוֹם שֶׁכּוֹתְבִין כְּתֻבָּה וְאֵין לָהֶם שְׁטַר כְּתֻבָּה, וַאֲפִלּוּ מָחֲלָה אִמָּם כְּתֻבָּתָהּ בְּפֵרוּשׁ, יֵשׁ לַבָּנוֹת מְזוֹנוֹת (הָרַאֲבַ"ד פֶּרֶק י"ט דְּאִשּׁוּת). וְכֵן אִם נִתְגָּרְשָׁה הָאֵם, אֲפִלּוּ הָכִי חַיָּב בִּמְזוֹנוֹת הַבָּנוֹת:

Among the [automatic] conditions of the ketuba is that daughters shall be fed from the estate of the father after his death, until they are engaged (with kiddushin) or until they reach the age of majority. Note: [This rule holds] even if it was not explicitly written in the ketuba, or even if there is no ketuba, as in a place where ketubot are not written (Tur). Some say that even in a place where ketubot are written and they do not have the ketuba document, and even if the mother explicitly relinquished her financial rights in the ketuba, the daughters still receive food (Ra"avad to Hilchot Ishut Chapter 19). Similarly, if the mother was divorced, even so the father is required to feed the daughters.

Se’if 2ב׳

בַּת הַנִּזּוֹנֵית מִנִּכְסֵי אָבִיהָ לְאַחַר מוֹתוֹ, מַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיהָ וּמְצִיאָתָהּ לְעַצְמָהּ:

A daughter who is being fed from the estate of her father after his death, the fruit of her labor and found items belong to her.

Se’if 3ג׳

נִתְאָרְסָה בְּעוֹדָהּ קְטַנָּה, אִבְּדָה מְזוֹנוֹת מִן הָאַחִין וְהָאָרוּס חַיָּב בִּמְזוֹנוֹתֶיהָ. הַגָּה: וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים דְּלֹא אִבְּדָה מְזוֹנוֹת אֶלָּא כְּשֶׁתִּתְאָרֵס מִשֶּׁהִיא נַעֲרָה (כֵּן כָּתַב הַמַּגִּיד מִשְׁנֶה פֶּרֶק י"ט בְּשֵׁם ר"ח וְהָרַשְׁבָּ"א). וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים דַּוְקָא שֶׁנִּתְאָרְסָה מֵעַצְמָהּ, אֲבָל נִתְאָרְסָה מִדַּעַת אַחֶיהָ לֹא אִבְּדָה מְזוֹנוֹת (טוּר בְּשֵׁם הָרְמַ"ה):

If she was betrothed while still a minor, she loses her food support from her brothers, and the groom is liable for her sustenance. Rama: Some authorities say that she does not lose food support unless betrothed from the time of reaching maidenhood (between 12 and 12.5 years old) (so writes Magid Mishna chapter 19 in the name of Rabbenu Chananel and Rashba). Some authorities qualify the rule (of a minor losing food support) by applying it only when she betrothed herself, but if she was betrothed with the knowledge of her brothers, she does not lose food support (Tur in the name of Ramah).

Se’if 4ד׳

נִשֵּׂאת הַבַּת, אוֹ מֵאֲנָה אוֹ נִתְגָּרְשָׁה אוֹ נִתְאַלְמְנָה, אֲפִלּוּ הִיא שׁוֹמֶרֶת יָבָם, הוֹאִיל וְחָזְרָה לְבֵית אָבִיהָ וַעֲדַיִן לֹא בָּגְרָה, הֲרֵי זוֹ נִזּוֹנֵית מִנִּכְסֵי אָבִיהָ עַד שֶׁתִּבְגַּר אוֹ עַד שֶׁתִּתְאָרֵס. הַגָּה: וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים דַּוְקָא מִן הָאֵרוּסִין, אֲבָל מִשֶּׁנִּשֵּׂאת שׁוּב אֵין לָהּ מְזוֹנוֹת (טוּר). וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים עוֹד, דַּוְקָא בְּחַיֵּי אָבִיהָ, דִּכְשֶׁמֵּת אָבִיהָ הָיְתָה בִּרְשׁוּתוֹ, אֲבָל לְאַחַר מִיתַת אָבִיהָ אִבְּדָה מְזוֹנוֹת מִיָּד שֶׁנִּתְאָרְסָה (טוּר בְּשֵׁם הָרֹא"שׁ), וְכֵן נִרְאֶה עִקָּר:

A daughter was married, and either refused, or was divorced, or was widowed, even if she is a yivama. Since she returns to her fathers house and has not yet grown up [past the age of 12 1/2], she feeds from her father's possessions until she grows up or until she is engaged. Rem"a: And some say specifically [if she refused/was divorced/was widowed] from the engagement [does she feed from her father's possessions], but if [she refused/was divorced/was widowed] from marriage, she no longer has food [from her father] (Tur). And some say further that specifically in her father's life, since when her father died she was in his authority, but after her father dies, she loses the food immediately since she is engaged (Tur in the name of the Rosh). And this is the main [law].

Se’if 5ה׳

יִבֵּם אֵשֶׁת אָחִיו וְיָלְדָה לוֹ בַּת, אִם לֹא הָיָה לְאָחִיו נְכָסִים, הַבַּת נִזּוֹנֶת מִנִּכְסֵי אָבִיהָ. אֲבָל אִם הָיוּ לְאָחִיו נְכָסִים, וְכֵן בַּת שְׁנִיָּה וְכֵן בַּת אֲנוּסָתוֹ אֲפִלּוּ נוֹלְדוּ לוֹ אַחַר שֶׁנְּשָׂאָהּ, וְכֵן בַּת אֲרוּסָתוֹ שֶׁנּוֹלְדָה לוֹ בְּעוֹדָהּ אֲרוּסָה וְאַחַר כָּךְ נְשָׂאָהּ, אֵין לָהֶן מְזוֹנוֹת אַחַר מִיתַת אֲבִיהֶן, אֲבָל בְּחַיָּיו הוּא חַיָּב בִּמְזוֹנוֹתָן כְּדִין שְׁאָר הַבָּנִים וְהַבָּנוֹת בְּחַיֵּי אֲבִיהֶן:

If a man performed levirate marriage with his sister-in-law and she gave birth to a daughter, if the other brother's have no assets, the daughter is fed from her father's estate. If, however, the brothers do have assets, or if the daughter was produced by a rabbinically forbidden union or as the product of rape, even if she was born after they married, or the daughter of his betrothed who was born while they were still betrothed and they subsequently wed, she is not supported after her father died, but during his lifetime he must sustain them like any other sons and daughters during the father's lifetime.
