הָיוּ בָהּ מוּמִין וְעוֹדָהּ בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ, הָאָב צָרִיךְ לְהָבִיא רְאָיָה שֶׁמִּשֶּׁנִּתְאָרְסָה נוֹלְדוּ בָהּ מוּמִין הַלָּלוּ וְנִסְתַּחֲפָה שָׂדֵהוּ. נִכְנְסָה לִרְשׁוּת הַבַּעַל, הַבַּעַל צָרִיךְ לְהָבִיא רְאָיָה שֶׁעַד שֶׁלֹּא נִתְאָרְסָה הָיוּ בָהּ מוּמִין אֵלּוּ וְהָיָה מִקָּחוֹ מֶקַּח טָעוּת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בְּמוּמִין שֶׁבַּסֵּתֶר. אֲבָל בְּמוּמִין שֶׁבַּגָּלוּי, אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לִטְעֹן. וְאִם יֵשׁ מֶרְחָץ בְּאוֹתָהּ הָעִיר, אַף מוּמִין שֶׁבַּסֵּתֶר אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לִטְעֹן, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁהוּא בוֹדְקָהּ בִּקְרוֹבוֹתָיו:

If she had blemishes when she were still in her father's domain, her father must bring proof that these blemishes appeared after she had been betrothed and that "his (the husband's) field had been flooded." [If he (her father) came to claim her kethubah from betrothal from this man who refuses to take her (in marriage), he must bring proof that these blemishes appeared after she was betrothed. And even though a woman has a body-status (of non-blemished), since the blemishes were found in the father's domain, and it can be contended that they were there before betrothal, if he did not bring proof (to the contrary), the husband is believed.] Once she entered her husband's domain, [If he married her and now wishes to send her away without a kethubah because of her blemishes], the husband must bring proof that these blemishes were there before she was betrothed [for (otherwise), since these blemishes were found in his domain, we say: "They were found here; they originated here" i.e., they appeared after he married her and "his field was flooded."] These are the words of R. Meir. The sages say: When does this apply? With concealed blemishes, but with revealed blemishes, he can make no such claim [for he knew about them and he accepted them]. And if there were a bath-house in that city, he cannot make such a clam even for concealed blemishes, for she was inspected by his (female kin, and he accepted her as she was.)
