Tosefta for Ketubot 6:5

הַמַּשִּׂיא אֶת בִּתּוֹ סְתָם, לֹא יִפְחֹת לָהּ מֵחֲמִשִּׁים זוּז. פָּסַק לְהַכְנִיסָהּ עֲרֻמָּה, לֹא יֹאמַר הַבַּעַל כְּשֶׁאַכְנִיסָהּ לְבֵיתִי אֲכַסֶּנָּה בִכְסוּתִי, אֶלָּא מְכַסָּהּ וְעוֹדָהּ בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ. וְכֵן הַמַּשִּׂיא אֶת הַיְתוֹמָה, לֹא יִפְחֹת לָהּ מֵחֲמִשִּׁים זוּז. אִם יֵשׁ בַּכִּיס, מְפַרְנְסִין אוֹתָהּ לְפִי כְבוֹדָהּ:

If one marries his daughter without specifying [how much he will give her], he may not give her less than fifty zuz. If he stipulated to marry her off "naked," the husband may not say: "When I bring her into my home, I will clothe her in my garments" (i.e., in the garments that I shall provide for her), but he must clothe her while she is yet in her father's house. Likewise, one [i.e., the charity overseer] who marries off an orphan may not give her less than fifty zuz. If there are (funds) in the "pocket" (of charity), they provide her in accordance with her honor.
