Un Bogereth qui a attendu douze mois [A Bogereth, dont le père n'annule pas ses vœux, qui a été sollicité pour le mariage, et qui a attendu douze mois, après quoi son (futur) mari est obligé de la nourrir], et une veuve [qui attendue] trente jours [après avoir été sollicitée pour le mariage, après quoi son (futur) mari la nourrit] —R. Eliezer dit: Puisque son mari est obligé de la nourrir, il annule [ses vœux. La halakha n'est pas conforme à R. Eliezer.] Et les sages disent: Le mari n'annule pas jusqu'à ce qu'elle entre dans son domaine.
Jerusalem Talmud Ketubot
MISHNAH: If somebody died and left his wife, a creditor88Who is secured by a mortgage lien on the deceased person’s real estate., and heirs, and he was owed a deposit or a debt by a third party89Since a deposit is unsecured movable property, also the debt due to the deceased is presumed to be unsecured movable property., Rebbi Ṭarphon says, these should be given to the weakest among them. Rebbi Aqiba says, one does not show mercy in law! But these should be given to the heirs for all others have to swear90The widow who wants to receive her ketubah in cash (instead of being supported by the heirs for the rest of her life) has to swear that she did not receive anything during her husband’s lifetime. The creditor has to swear that his claim was not satisfied., only the heirs do not have to swear91Since as movable property the deposit or debt was not mortgaged, it becomes the heirs’ free property at the moment of death of the bequeather..

Jerusalem Talmud Ketubot
MISHNAH: One gives a virgin twelve months from when the husband requested to marry her to provide for herself63To make her trousseau.. Just as one gives to the woman so one gives to the man to provide for himself64To look for a house and otherwise prepare for a family. The girl’s family cannot force the husband into a definitive marriage before 12 months after the date of the preliminary marriage.. And to a widow thirty days65Since she already has a trousseau.. If the time has come and they are not definitively married, they eat from his [property] and may eat heave66If the prospective husband is a Cohen, the preliminary marriage is the act of acquisition. Lev. 22:11, speaking about heave, reads: “If a Cohen buy a person with his money, that person may eat it.” Since the preliminary marriage is formally an acquisition by money, the bride can eat heave as soon as the groom is required to feed her. Therefore, if the delay of the wedding is his fault, the girl’s family can require that he feed her after the statutory 12 months delay, and he can fulfill his obligation by providing her with heave (for which he did not pay) and which she must eat in levitic purity in her father’s house.. Rebbi Ṭarphon says, one gives her everything in heave. Rebbi Aqiba said, half profane and half heave67As the Halakhah explains, a woman regularly has periods of impurity. R. Aqiba requires the groom to provide her with profane food for her periods of impurity; R. Tarphon, in the interpretation of the Babli, thinks that she can sell the heave and buy profane food for the money. This is a very problematic proposition since heave, for which the only possible buyers are other Cohanim, cannot fetch a price commensurate with that of profane food..
