Mesorat%20hashas for Yevamot 13:2

אֵיזוֹ הִיא קְטַנָּה שֶׁצְּרִיכָה לְמָאֵן, כֹּל שֶׁהִשִּׂיאוּהָ אִמָּהּ וְאַחֶיהָ לְדַעְתָּהּ. הִשִּׂיאוּהָ שֶׁלֹּא לְדַעְתָּהּ, אֵינָהּ צְרִיכָה לְמָאֵן. רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶּן אַנְטִיגְנוֹס אוֹמֵר, כָּל תִּינוֹקֶת שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לִשְׁמֹר קִדּוּשֶׁיהָ, אֵינָהּ צְרִיכָה לְמָאֵן. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אֵין מַעֲשֵׂה קְטַנָּה כְלוּם, אֶלָּא כִמְפֻתָּה. בַּת יִשְׂרָאֵל לְכֹהֵן, לֹא תֹאכַל בַּתְּרוּמָה. בַּת כֹּהֵן לְיִשְׂרָאֵל, תֹּאכַל בַּתְּרוּמָה:

Who is a minor that requires miun? One whose mother and brothers wed her with her knowledge. If they wed her without her knowledge, miun is not required. R. Chanina b. Antignos says: Any young girl who is not able to care for her betrothal (money or deed) does not require miun. R. Eliezer says: The act of a minor is of no significance; it is as if she has [not been married, but] seduced — the daughter of an Israelite to a Cohein does not eat terumah; the daughter of a Cohein to an Israelite eats terumah. [The halachah is not in accordance with R. Eliezer, but with R. Chanina b. Antignos. And one who is less than six is assumed not to be able to care for her betrothal and does not require miun. If she is older than ten, it is assumed that she is able to care for her betrothal, though she be extremely foolish. From six until ten it must be ascertained whether or not she is able to care for her betrothal. She may exercise the miun option until she reaches the age of twelve years and one day and shows (pubertal) signs. After that she cannot refuse, even if he did not cohabit with her. And if he lived with her after twelve years and one day, even if she did not show signs, we entertain the apprehension that the signs have fallen and that he has acquired her.]
