Mesorat%20hashas for Ketubot 5:7

הַמּוֹרֶדֶת עַל בַּעְלָהּ, פּוֹחֲתִין לָהּ מִכְּתֻבָּתָהּ שִׁבְעָה דִינָרִין בַּשַּׁבָּת. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שִׁבְעָה טַרְפְּעִיקִין. עַד מָתַי הוּא פוֹחֵת, עַד כְּנֶגֶד כְּתֻבָּתָהּ. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, לְעוֹלָם הוּא פוֹחֵת וְהוֹלֵךְ, שֶׁמָּא תִפּוֹל לָהּ יְרֻשָּׁה מִמָּקוֹם אַחֵר, גּוֹבֶה הֵימֶנָּה. וְכֵן הַמּוֹרֵד עַל אִשְׁתּוֹ, מוֹסִיפִין לָהּ עַל כְּתֻבָּתָהּ שְׁלֹשָׁה דִינָרִין בַּשַּׁבָּת. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, שְׁלֹשָׁה טַרְפְּעִיקִין:

If one rebels against her husband [refusing to live with him, (But if she refuses to work, she is compelled to do so and she is not judged as a "rebel.")], seven dinars a week are deducted from her kethubah. R. Yehudah says: Seven tarpikin (a tarpik is half a dinar). Until when does he deduct. Until there remains nothing of her kethubah, [at which point he gives her a get and she leaves without a kethubah; but he does not detain her to deduct from the property that fell to her from her father's house and to cause her to lose it.] R. Yossi says: He can keep on deducting, so that if an inheritance falls to her from elsewhere, he can claim from it. Likewise, if one rebels against his wife, three dinars a week are added to her kethubah. R. Yehudah says: three tarpikin. [For conjugal denial is more painful for a man than for a woman. Therefore, if she rebels and causes him to suffer, seven dinars are deducted, whereas if he rebels and causes her to suffer, only three dinars are added. The gemara states that in the instance of the wife's rebellion it was ruled that proclamation be made against her four consecutive Sabbaths in the synagogues and the houses of study, saying: "This woman rebelled against her husband." And she is apprised by beth-din: "Be it known to you that even if your kethubah is one hundred manah, you will lose everything," whether she were betrothed or married; and even a niddah, and even one who were ill, and even one awaiting yibum. Before the proclamation they apprise her of their intention, and afterwards they apprise her that the proclamation has been completed. If she persists in her rebellion, she leaves without a kethubah.
