Commentary for Ketubot 105:7

אמר רבא פשיטא לי מוכרת כתובתה לאחרים יש לה כתובת בנין דכרין מאי טעמא זוזי אנסוה מוחלת כתובתה לבעלה אין לה כתובת בנין דכרין מאי טעמא אחולי אחילתא

Rava said: It is obvious to me that a woman who sells her ketubah to strangers retains the right to the male children’s ketubah. What is the reason? [It is her need for] money that has compelled her [to sell]. A woman who forgives her claim [to her ketubah] to her husband does not retain the right to the male children’s ketubah. What is the reason? She forgave it.
