הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁנָּפְלוּ לָהּ נְכָסִים עַד שֶׁלֹּא תִתְאָרֵס, מוֹדִים בֵּית שַׁמַּאי וּבֵית הִלֵּל שֶׁמּוֹכֶרֶת וְנוֹתֶנֶת וְקַיָּם. נָפְלוּ לָהּ מִשֶּׁנִּתְאָרְסָה, בֵּית שַׁמַּאי אוֹמְרִים, תִּמְכֹּר, וּבֵית הִלֵּל אוֹמְרִים, לֹא תִמְכֹּר. אֵלּוּ וָאֵלּוּ מוֹדִים, שֶׁאִם מָכְרָה וְנָתְנָה, קַיָּם. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, אָמְרוּ לִפְנֵי רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, הוֹאִיל וְזָכָה בָאִשָּׁה, לֹא יִזְכֶּה בַנְּכָסִים. אָמַר לָהֶם, עַל הַחֲדָשִׁים אָנוּ בוֹשִׁין, אֶלָּא שָׁאַתֶּם מְגַלְגְּלִין עָלֵינוּ אֶת הַיְשָׁנִים. נָפְלוּ לָהּ מִשֶּׁנִּשֵּׂאת, אֵלּוּ וָאֵלּוּ מוֹדִים שֶׁאִם מָכְרָה וְנָתְנָה שֶׁהַבַּעַל מוֹצִיא מִיַּד הַלָּקוֹחוֹת. עַד שֶׁלֹּא נִשֵּׂאת וְנִשֵּׂאת, רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, אִם מָכְרָה וְנָתְנָה, קַיָּם. אָמַר רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶּן עֲקִיבָא, אָמְרוּ לִפְנֵי רַבָּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, הוֹאִיל וְזָכָה בָאִשָּׁה, לֹא יִזְכֶּה בַנְּכָסִים. אָמַר לָהֶם, עַל הַחֲדָשִׁים אָנוּ בוֹשִׁין, אֶלָּא שֶׁאַתֶּם מְגַלְגְּלִים עָלֵינוּ אֶת הַיְשָׁנִים:

If property fell to a woman before she were betrothed [and she were then betrothed], Beth Shammai and Beth Hillel agree that she may sell it or give it as a gift, and it (the transaction) stands. If it fell to her after she were betrothed, Beth Shammai say: She may sell it [while she is still betrothed, but not after she were married], and Beth Hillel say: She may not sell it. Both agree that if she sold it or gave it as a gift, it stands. R. Yehudah said: They said before R. Gamliel: If he acquires the woman, [the woman becoming his betrothed], should he not acquire the property! He answered: "We are ashamed over the new [which fell to her after she was married. Why did the sages see fit to say that if she sold it or gave it as a gift, her husband can take it from the receiver], and you would "roll" the old upon us!" [property that fell to her while she was still betrothed, saying that if she sold it the sale is void, her husband having acquired it.] If it fell to her after she were married, both agree that if she sold it or gave it as a gift, her husband can take it from the receiver. (If it fell to her) before she were married, and she were then married, R. Gamliel says: If she sold it or gave it as a gift, it stands. R. Chanina b. Akiva said: They said before R. Gamliel: If he acquires the woman, should he not acquire the property! He answered: "We are shamed over the new, and you would roll the old upon us!"
