Commentary for Ketubot 146:14

In that case, they differ over the following: One Master holds that [the expression], “On the condition that my father consents” means, ‘On condition that my father will remain silent,” and [the betrothal is valid] because, surely, his father remained silent. And the other Master holds the opinion [that the meaning of the expression is] that his father will say, “Yes,” and [the betrothal is invalid] because his father in fact did not say, “Yes.”
