וְאֵלּוּ שֶׁבֵּית דִּין מְקַנִּין לָהֶן, מִי שֶׁנִּתְחָרֵשׁ בַּעְלָהּ אוֹ נִשְׁתַּטָּה, אוֹ שֶׁהָיָה חָבוּשׁ בְּבֵית הָאֲסוּרִין. לֹא לְהַשְׁקוֹתָהּ אָמְרוּ, אֶלָּא לְפָסְלָהּ מִכְּתֻבָּתָהּ. רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, אַף לְהַשְׁקוֹתָהּ, לִכְשֶׁיֵּצֵא בַעְלָהּ מִבֵּית הָאֲסוּרִין יַשְׁקֶנָּה:

These are those whom are warned by the court: One whose spouse became deaf or retarded, or was put in prison. Not to make her drink was this said, rather to invalidate her <i>Ketubah</i>. Rabbi Yosi says, even to make her drink; when her husband gets out of prison they make her drink.
