Mesorat%20hashas for Kiddushin 2:6

הַמְקַדֵּשׁ שְׁתֵּי נָשִׁים בְּשָׁוֶה פְרוּטָה, אוֹ אִשָּׁה אַחַת בְּפָחוֹת מִשָּׁוֶה פְרוּטָה, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁשָּׁלַח סִבְלוֹנוֹת לְאַחַר מִכָּאן, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת, שֶׁמֵּחֲמַת קִדּוּשִׁין הָרִאשׁוֹנִים שָׁלַח. וְכֵן קָטָן שֶׁקִּדֵּשׁ:

If one betrothed two women with the worth of a p'rutah or one woman with less than the worth of a p'rutah, even if he sent sivlonoth afterwards ["sivlonoth" are gifts customarily sent by the groom to his betrothed], she is not betrothed. [We do not say that he knew that the betrothal had not been consummated and that his intent was to consummate it with these sivlonoth], but [we say that] he sent it because of (what he thought to be bona fide) original betrothal. The same applies to a minor who betrothed [and sent sivlonoth when he came of age].
