Talmud for Ketubot 7:4

הַמַּדִּיר אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ שֶׁלֹּא תֵלֵךְ לְבֵית אָבִיהָ, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהוּא עִמָּהּ בָּעִיר, חֹדֶשׁ אֶחָד יְקַיֵּם. שְׁנַיִם, יוֹצִיא וְיִתֵּן כְּתֻבָּה. וּבִזְמַן שֶׁהוּא בְעִיר אַחֶרֶת, רֶגֶל אֶחָד יְקַיֵּם. שְׁלֹשָׁה, יוֹצִיא וְיִתֵּן כְּתֻבָּה:

If one accepted his wife's vow not to go to her father's house — When he (her father) is with her in the same city, he keeps her one month and on the second he sends her out and gives her her kethubah. And when he is in a different city, he keeps her for one festival, and on the third he send her out and gives her her kethubah. [The gemara explains this Mishnah as follows: "He keeps her for one festival": When is this so, with the wife of an Israelite; but with the wife of a Cohein, he keeps her for two festivals and on the third he sends her out. Our Mishnah is in accordance with R. Yehudah, who distinguishes between the wife of an Israelite and the wife of a Cohein. The halachah is not in accordance with him.]

Jerusalem Talmud Pesachim

Rebbi Joḥanan said, they taught this about the follow-holiday27Using the root רדף not in the biblical sense “to pursue” but the related meaning “to follow closely”, Arabic ردف. The definition of follow-holiday is from Ketubot7:5 (Notes 43–45), Babli Ketubot 71b.. What is the follow-holiday? Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, that is the first holiday when her father follows her to her husband’s house. If she did not go for the first holiday, does the second holiday become the follow-holiday28So if that should be Passover she has a choice whether to join her father or her husband for the Pesaḥ.? She always has a follow-holiday. Does a widow have a follow-holiday? Let us hear from the following: “If she went to her father’s house for the first holiday.” Either this means that she always has a follow-holiday or it means that a widow has a follow-holiday29To make sense of the duplication in the Mishnah since following R. Joḥanan also the first sentence of the Mishnah refers to a newly-wed who still has no child.. Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun said, explain it that she has children but no husband. Normally a woman gives instructions saying, I want to be with my children30Once she has children, the question of where she celebrates the Pesaḥ is resolved; she no longer has to be asked where she wants to be..
