(Mishnah): A widow, whether from Eirusin or Nisu'in, may sell outside of Beis Din;

R. Shimon says, a widow from Nisu'in may sell outside of Beis Din. A widow from Eirusin, she sells only in Beis Din;

This is because [from Eirusin] she is not fed, and anyone who is not fed sells only in Beis Din.

(Gemara): R. Shimon holds that it depends on food. If [her husband] stipulated to feed her from Eirusin, she sells [even] not in Beis Din. If he stipulated not to feed her after Nisu'in, she sells only in Beis Din.

Question: [What is the reason for] Chachamim's words [that even from Eirusin, she sells not in Beis Din]?

Answer (R. Acha citing R. Chinena citing R. Yochanan): A man is concerned for his widow's honor, both from Eirusin and from Nisu'in.

(Rav Yehudah citing Shmuel): One who pardoned the Kesuvah to the orphans, she is fed from their property.

Question: A woman who has no Kesuvah (e.g. this widow who pardoned it), is she fed?!

Answer: A woman who has no Kesuvah [at all, also has no Tenai Kesuvah, so] she is not fed. Here, is it not enough that she pardoned to the orphans [her Ikar Kesuvah] - do you seek to remove her food?!

(Rav Yehudah citing Rav): One who demanded her Kesuvah in Beis Din, she forfeited her food.

Limitation (R. Yosi): This is only if she demanded amidst sufficiency, but not if it was due to Ones.

This is like the widow of R. Avdimas. [The orphans] tricked her, and told her that R. Ba bar Kohen wants to marry her. She claimed her Kesuvah and forfeited her food;

When [the trickery] became known, the case came in front of R. Yosi. He returned her to be fed.

(R. Elazar citing R. Yosi ben Zimra): If a widow went two or three months without claiming food, she forfeited her food for those three months;

This is when she did not borrow, but if she borrowed, she collects.

This is when she does not have a security in her hand [from the estate], but if she has a security in her hand, even if she did not borrow, she collects.

(R. Yosa citing R. Yochanan): This [if she went three months without claiming food, she forfeited] is [based on] what they said, initially they sell [property to buy] food for 12 months, and they give to her food for 30 days. (PNEI MOSHE)

Question: If at the end of 30 days [the heirs] say 'we gave', and she says 'I did not take' [what is the law]?

Answer: This is like R. Avahu said citing R. Yochanan. If one was Mekadesh her on condition to give to her 12 gold Dinarim in a year - he gives to her a gold Dinar each month, obviously, the first month [he is believed to say that] he gave, and the last month [she is believed to say that] he did not give;

The days in the middle - about this it was said, at the beginning [he is not believed to say that he gave - PNEI MOSHE].

(R. Avahu citing R. Yochanan): Initially they sell [property to buy] food for 12 months, and they give to her food for 30 days.

Question: They should sell for [only] 30 days!

Answer: [We do not say so,] lest this weaken the widow's rights (perhaps the orphans will cause a loss to the property, or sell it for their needs).

Question: They should give to her food for 12 months [like they sold]!

Answer: If you say so, this is harmful for the orphans! (Perhaps she will marry during the year, and they will not be able to take back the extra food);

(Beraisa): If a widow seized even 1000 Zuz for her food, we do not take it from her.

Question: Can [the orphans] tell her 'show what is in your hand [what you seized]'?

Answer #1 (Talmidim of R. Mana): They can tell her 'show what is in your hand.'

Rebuttal (and Answer #2 - R. Yosi bei R. Bun): Since she will swear at the end, even 'show what is in your hand' we do not tell her.

(Mishnah): If a woman sold her Kesuvah, or part of it, or gave it for collateral, or part of it, or gave it [to another] as a gift, or part of it, she may sell [to collect] the rest only in Beis Din.

Chachamim say that she may sell even four or five times, and she may sell outside of Beis Din for food, and she writes 'I sold this for food.'

A divorcee sells only in Beis Din.

(Gemara - Beraisa): She sells and writes 'this I sold for my Kesuvah, and this for food.' R. Yehudah says so;

R. Yosi says, she sells and writes Stam [this I sold], and this gives to her greater rights. If a creditor of a loan through witnesses (without a document) comes, she says 'I sold for food.' (Later she will take it back from the buyer for her Kesuvah.) If a creditor of a loan with a document comes, she says 'I sold for the Kesuvah.' (Had she said that she sold for food for a year, and the seller is supplying her with food every month, the creditor would take the money for the remaining food.)

Question: Even if a creditor of a loan through witnesses comes, and she says 'I sold for food', and she takes it back [from the buyer] for her Kesuvah, do we not tell her 'see your sale!'? (If you want to revoke the sale for food and take it now for the Kesuvah, you must return the money you received!)

Answer: The case is, the value increased. (She returns the money she received and takes the field, for now it is worth more. We explained this like PNEI MOSHE.)

(R. Yakov bar Acha citing R. Yochanan, and R. Heila citing R. Lazar): Just like a person is concerned for the honor of his widow, so he is concerned for the honor of his divorcee. (Just like Rabanan permit a widow to sell not in Beis Din even if she is not fed, the same applies to a divorcee);

(R. Yakov bar Acha citing R. Lazar): "Umi'Besarcha Lo Sis'alem" refers to his divorcee.

R. Yosi ha'Gelili's wife used to vex him greatly. R. Elazar ben Azaryah went to him. He said, Rebbi, leave her - it is not honorable for you!

R. Yosi ha'Gelili: Her Kesuvah is too great for me [to pay]. R. Elazar ben Azaryah [who was very wealthy] said 'I will give to you her Kesuvah, and leave her!' He gave to him her Kesuvah, and he divorced her.

She went and married the watchman of the city. He lost his property and became blind. She went around the entire city and took him [to beg for food].

Once, she brought him around the entire city and he did not get anything. He said, is there no other street? She said, there is the street of my ex-husband. I cannot enter it. He started to hit her.

R. Yosi ha'Gelili passed and heard the voice of her disgrace in public. He took them and put them in one of his houses, and fed them their entire lives, due to "umi'Besarcha Lo Sis'alem" - this is his divorcee.

Even so, they listened at night and heard her voice saying 'was it not better for me the pain outside the body (to take my husband around, and bear his beating) than [the pain] inside the body (shame of being fed through my ex-husband).
