Commentary for Ketubot 155:7

אם בזכותו נפלו כי מכרה ונתנה אמאי קיים אלא רישא ודאי בזכותה נפלו סיפא אימר בזכותה אימר בזכותו לכתחלה לא תמכור אם מכרה ונתנה קיים:

If the property “came into his possession” when she sold it or gave it way, why is the [sale or gift] valid? Rather, this [is the explanation:] In the first clause the property has certainly come into her possession. In the succeeding clause, we might say it came into her possession, or we might say it has come into his possession. Therefore, ab initio, she should not sell [the property] but if she did sell it, her sale is valid.
