Commentaire sur Yevamot 4:4
כְּנָסָהּ, הֲרֵי הִיא כְאִשְׁתּוֹ לְכָל דָּבָר, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁתְּהֵא כְתֻבָּתָהּ עַל נִכְסֵי בַעְלָהּ הָרִאשׁוֹן:
S'il l'a emmenée (c'est-à-dire qu'il a cohabité avec elle), elle (la yevamah) est comme sa femme à tous égards. [Il divorce avec un get et n'a pas besoin de chalitzah, et il peut la reprendre s'il le souhaite, et elle ne lui devient pas interdite.]—seulement que sa kethubah soit (liée) à la propriété de son premier mari, [que la terre de son premier mari soit la sécurité pour sa kethubah. Et s'il lui manque une kethubah de son premier mari, le yavam lui écrit une kethubah de cent seulement contre sa propriété.]

Bartenura on Mishnah Yevamot
על נכסי בעלה הראשון – that the landed property of her first husband will be responsible and vouched on her Ketubah, and if she lacks a Ketubah from her first husband, the levir writes her a Ketubah on his property which is only a Maneh.

English Explanation of Mishnah Yevamot
If he married her she is his wife in every respect save that her ketubah remains a debt on her first husband’s estate. When the yavam has yibbum with the shomeret yavam, she becomes his wife in every respect. If he wishes to divorce her he must give her a get and she doesn’t require halitzah. He can remarry her after divorcing her (provided she doesn’t remarry in between) and she is not forbidden as “his brother’s wife”. When she dies he inherits her. The only difference between her and a regular wife is that if he dies or divorces her, the ketubah is paid from the estate of the first husband. In any case, the rabbis declared that if the dead brother died penniless, the yavam must pay for her ketubah.
