Commentary for Ketubot 114:11

הגיע זמן ולא נישאו: אמר עולא דבר תורה ארוסה בת ישראל אוכלת בתרומה שנאמר (ויקרא כב, יא) וכהן כי יקנה נפש קנין כספו והאי נמי קנין כספו הוא מה טעם אמרו אינה אוכלת שמא ימזגו לה כוס בבית אביה ותשקה לאחיה ולאחותה

If the time had come and they were not married: Ulla stated: The daughter of an Israelite who is betrothed [to a priest] is, according to toraitic law, permitted to eat terumah, for it said, “But if a priest buy any person, the purchase of his money” and that [woman] also is the purchase of his money. What then is the reason why [the rabbis] ruled that she is not permitted to eat [terumah]? Lest they mix her a cup [of terumah] in her father’s home and she gives it her brother or sister to drink.
