אבן העזר פ׳Even HaEzer 80

Se’if 1א׳

מַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיהָ לְבַעֲלָהּ, כֵּיצַד, הַכֹּל כְּמִנְהַג הַמְּדִינָה; מָקוֹם שֶׁדַּרְכָּן לֶאֱרֹג, אוֹרֶגֶת; לִרְקֹם, רוֹקֶמֶת; לִטְווֹת צֶמֶר אוֹ פִּשְׁתִּים, טוֹוָה; וְאִם לֹא הָיָה דֶּרֶךְ נְשֵׁי הָעִיר לַעֲשׂוֹת כָּל הַמְּלָאכוֹת הָאֵלּוּ, אֵינוֹ כּוֹפָהּ אֶלָּא לִטְווֹת הַצֶּמֶר בִּלְבַד. דָּחֲקָה עַצְמָהּ וְעָשְׂתָה יוֹתֵר מֵהָרָאוּי לָהּ, הַמּוֹתָר לַבַּעַל. הַגָּה: וְדַוְקָא שֶׁנּוֹתֵן לָהּ מָעָה כֶּסֶף כָּל שָׁבוּעַ, כְּמוֹ שֶׁנִּתְבָּאֵר לְעֵיל סִימָן ע'. וִיכוֹלָה אִשָּׁה לוֹמַר: אֵינִי נוֹטֶלֶת מָעָה כֶּסֶף וְאֵינִי נוֹתֶנֶת הַמּוֹתָר; אֲבָל הַבַּעַל לֹא יוּכַל לוֹמַר כֵּן (טוּר בְּשֵׁם הָרְמָ"ה, וְכֵן כָּתַב הָרַ"ן פֶּרֶק אַף עַל פִּי, וְכֵן כָּתַב הַשְּׁאִלְתּוֹת פָּרָשַׁת מִשְׁפָּטִים):

The product of her work belongs to her husband. How [does this work?] All according to local practice. In a place where they [the women] tend to weave, she weaves. ... to embroider, she embroiders. ... to spin wool or linen, she spins. And if the way of the women of the city wasn't to do any of these jobs, he can only compel her to spin the wool. If she pushed herself and made more than enough for herself, the excess [belongs] to her husband. Rem"a: And this is only when he gives her a *ma'ah* of silver each week, as was explained above, in Siman 70. And the woman can say, "I will take the *ma'ah* of silver, and I won't give the excess," but the husband cannot say this. (Tur in the name of the Rem"a, and the Ra"n wrote similarly [on] the chapter [of Talmud Ketubot called] "Even so," and the She'iltot wrote similarly [on] *Parashat Mishpatim*.)

Se’if 2ב׳

הָיָה לוֹ מָמוֹן הַרְבֵּה, אֲפִלּוּ הָיָה לָהּ כַּמָּה שְׁפָחוֹת, אֵינָהּ יוֹשֶׁבֶת לְבַטָּלָה בְּלֹא מְלָאכָה, שֶׁהַבַּטָּלָה מְבִיאָה לִידֵי זִמָּה; אֲבָל אֵין כּוֹפִין אוֹתָהּ לַעֲשׂוֹת מְלָאכָה כָּל הַיּוֹם כֻּלּוֹ, אֶלָּא לְפִי רֹב הַמָּמוֹן מְמַעֶטֶת בִּמְלָאכָה:

If he had a lot of money, even if she had many maidservants, she may not sit idle without work, as idleness brings [one] to immorality. But we do not compel her to do work all day long; rather, in accordance with the abundance of money, she reduces working.

Se’if 3ג׳

הַמַּדִּיר אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ שֶׁלֹּא תַּעֲשֶׂה מְלָאכָה, יוֹצִיא וְיִתֵּן כְּתֻבָּה, שֶׁהַבַּטָּלָה מְבִיאָה לִידֵי זִמָּה:

One who imposes a vow on his wife that she will not do work, he [must] divorce her and pay her *ketubah* [marriage contract], as idleness brings one to immorality.
