רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, מְקוֹם שֶׁיָּפֶה כֹחוֹ בִכְנִיסָתָהּ, הוּרַע כֹּחוֹ בִיצִיאָתָהּ. מְקוֹם שֶׁהוּרַע כֹּחוֹ בִכְנִיסָתָהּ, יָפֶה כֹחוֹ בִיצִיאָתָהּ. פֵּרוֹת הַמְחֻבָּרִין לַקַּרְקַע, בִּכְנִיסָתָהּ שֶׁלּוֹ וּבִיצִיאָתָהּ שֶׁלָּהּ. וְהַתְּלוּשִׁין מִן הַקַּרְקַע, בִּכְנִיסָתָהּ שֶׁלָּהּ וּבִיצִיאָתָהּ שֶׁלּוֹ:
R. Shimon sagt: Der Ort, an dem seine Stärke überlegen ist, wenn sie eintritt, seine Stärke ist minderwertig, wenn sie geht [wenn er sich von ihr scheiden lässt]; und der Ort, an dem seine Stärke minderwertig ist, wenn sie eintritt, ist seine Stärke überlegen, wenn sie geht. Früchte, die mit dem Land verbunden sind, gehören ihm, wenn sie eintritt [das heißt, wenn das Land auf sie fällt, sind sie seine, wie es die Weisen tun.], Und wenn sie ausgeht, gehören sie ihr. Und was ist aus dem Land gerissen—Wenn sie hereinkommt, gehören sie ihr, und wenn sie ausgeht, gehören sie ihm. [Die Weisen und R. Shimon werden sich in Bezug auf Früchte unterscheiden, die mit dem Land verbunden sind, wenn sie geht, wobei die Weisen nicht von ihnen sprechen. Sie stimmen nicht mit R. Shimon überein, dass sie, wenn sie geht, ihre sind und glauben, dass das, was in seiner Domäne wächst, seine ist. Die Halacha stimmt mit R. Shimon überein.]

Bartenura on Mishnah Ketubot
פירות המחוברים לקרקע בכניסתה שלו – meaning to say, at the time of their falling/coming [into inheritance] they are his (i.e., the husband’s) according to the words of the Sages, but there is a difference between the Sages and Rabbi Shimon regarding produce that was attached [to the ground] at the time of her going forth [from the marriage; i.e., divorce}, but the Sages do not speak of them and they don’t hold [this way] regarding that that Rabbi Shimon stated, that when she went forth [from the marriage because of divorce], whatever grew in his domain is his, but the Halakha is according to Rabbi Shimon.

English Explanation of Mishnah Ketubot
Rabbi Shimon says: In respect to that in which the husband is at an advantage when he marries his wife he is at a disadvantage when he divorces her and in respect to that in which he is at a disadvantage when he marries her he is at an advantage when he divorces her. Produce which is attached to the ground is the husband’s when he marries his wife and hers when he divorces her, Produce that is detached from the ground is hers when she marries but the husband’s when she is divorced. In this mishnah Rabbi Shimon teaches a simple way of remembering which produce belongs to the husband and which produce belongs to the wife during marriage and after its dissolution. When the marriage begins, and as part of her dowry she brings a field that has on it produce attached to the ground, that produce is considered to be like produce grown after the marriage, and it belongs to him. This is the opinion of the Sages in the previous mishnah. When the marriage is dissolved through death or divorce the produce attached to the ground remains the property of the woman, as does the ground itself. In an opposite direction, produce which is detached from the ground is hers when she is married. If she brings this as part of her dowry, then it is used to buy land, as we learned above. However, at the time of divorce, detached produce already belongs to the husband and he need not return it to his wife.
