(1) [With regard to] a woman to whom property fell [by inheritance or gift] before she was betrothed, Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel agree, that she may sell [the property], or give [it away], and [the transaction] is valid. If they fall to her after she was betrothed, Beit Shammai say, "She may sell;" but Beit Hillel say, "She may not sell." And both agree [even in that case] that if she sold or gave [it away], the transaction is valid. Rabbi Yehudah related [that] they said before Rabban Gamliel, "Since [the man] gained the rights to the woman [herself, upon betrothal], should he not also acquire her property?" He said to them, "We feel ashamed at the [rights conceded to the husband with regard to her] new [property, which falls to her after marriage], and you wish to burden us with [the granting similar rights with regard to] her old [property, which fell to her before marriage]?" Should the property fall to her after marriage, both [Beit Shammai and Beit Hillel] agree that if she sold or gave [it away], the husband may recover it from the purchasers." [If the property fell to her] before she was married, and she was [subsequently] married, Rabban Gamliel says, "if she sold or gave [it away] [the transaction] is valid." Rabbi Haninah ben Akavya related [that] they said before Rabban Gamaliel, "Since [the man] gained the rights to the woman [herself, upon the marriage], should he not also acquire her property?" He said to them, "We feel ashamed at the [rights conceded to the husband with regard to her] new [property, which falls to her after marriage], and you wish to burden us with [the granting similar rights with regard to] her old [property, which fell to her before marriage]?"
(2) Rabbi Shimon distinguishes between [one type of] property and [other types of] property. Property that is known to the husband she may not sell; and if she sold it or gave it away, [the transaction] is void. [Property] that is not known to the husband, she may not sell; but if she sold it or gave it away, [the transaction] is valid.
(3) If money fell to her [i.e., as inheritance or a gift], land should be purchased with it, of which [the husband] enjoys the usufruct. [Similarly, if she received] fruit that was detached from the ground, land should be purchased with [the proceeds of their sale], and [the husband] enjoys the usufruct. And [with regard to fruit] that is attached to the ground, Rabbi Meir says, "They appraise [the field], how much it is worth with the [growing] fruit, and how much it is worth without the fruit, and [with] the difference land should be purchased, and [the husband] enjoys the usufruct." And the Sages say, "[The fruit] that is attached to the ground belongs to him, but [the fruit] that is detached from the ground belongs to her; and land should be purchased with [the proceeds], and he enjoys the usufruct."
