Commentary for Ketubot 114:5

אמר רבי זירא תנא קטנה בין היא ובין אביה יכולין לעכב בשלמא איהי מצי מעכבא אלא אביה אי איהי ניחא לה אביה מאי נפקא ליה מינה סבר השתא לא ידעה למחר מימרדא ונפקא ואתיא ונפלה עילואי

Zera said: It was taught: In the case of a minor, either she herself or her father may postpone [her marriage]. One can well understand why she can postpone [the marriage], but [why also her] father? If she is satisfied, why should her father care? He might reason: Now she does not understand but tomorrow she will rebel [against her husband], leave him and come back to, and fall [as a burden] on me.
