Un padre no está obligado a alimentar a su hija [en su vida. Porque después de su muerte, sus hijas son alimentadas de su propiedad como condición de la kethubah. Y esto se aplica no solo a su hija, sino también a su hijo, ya que un padre no tiene que alimentar ni a sus hijos ni a sus hijas cuando son menores, a menos que sea un hombre de recursos; es decir, un hombre rico del que Beth-din toma fuerza (como los hombres de la ciudad en general se ven obligados a dar caridad), y alimentan con él a sus pequeños hijos e hijas. Y si no es un hombre de recursos, beth-din lo reprendió, diciéndole que es cruel no alimentar a sus hijos, que (si se niega a alimentarlos) es peor que los animales salvajes, que son misericordiosos con sus hijos. joven. Pero no pueden obligarlo a alimentarlos, ya sean hombres o mujeres. Y esto es así solo cuando son (simplemente) jóvenes; pero si son extremadamente jóvenes, menores de seis años, beth-din obligan al padre y le quitan a la fuerza para alimentarlos, ya sean hombres o mujeres. Esto fue expuesto por R. Elazar b. Azaryah ante los sabios en la Viña de Yavneh (así llamado porque se sentaron allí fila por fila, en la configuración de una viña)]: "los hijos heredarán y las hijas serán alimentadas". [Una de las condiciones de la kethubah es que los machos heredan la kethubah de su madre y las hembras se alimentan de su propiedad.] Así como los hijos no heredan [la kethubah de su madre hasta después de la muerte de su padre], las hijas no son alimentadas [de la propiedad de su padre según las condiciones de la kethubah], hasta después de la muerte de su padre.
Bartenura on Mishnah Ketubot
לעולם היא ברשות האב – if an Israelite woman is betrothed to a Kohen she does not eat Terumah/priest’s due, and even if the time arrived that they established for marriage and she did not get married, as the husband is liable for her sustenance she cannot eat Terumah.

English Explanation of Mishnah Ketubot
Introduction
This mishnah discusses the exact point in which a betrothed woman ceases to be in her father’s domain and is transferred to her husband’s domain. We should note that different sources reflect different answers to this question. The question is of import because as long as she is in her father’s domain, he inherits her and he benefits from her work. Once she is in her husband’s domain, the husband gains such rights. Furthermore, there is importance for an Israelite girl who is betrothed to a priest. As long as she is in her father’s domain, she does not eat terumah. She is allowed to eat terumah when she enters her husband’s domain.

English Explanation of Mishnah Ketubot
If her father delivered her to the agents of the husband she passes into the domain of her husband. If her father went with the husband’s agents or if the father’s agents went with the husband’s agents she remains in the domain of her father. If her father’s agents delivered her to the husband’s agents she passes into the domain of her husband. The following clauses of the mishnah deal with a situation in which there is some distance to be traveled between the father’s home and the husband’s home. If the father turns his girl over to her husband’s agents, she is already considered to be married. If her husband is a priest, on her journey she may eat terumah. If the father or his agents accompany her on the trip, then she is still in her father’s domain. She enters into her husband’s domain only when she is fully turned over to him or to his agents.
