אתאי לקמיה דרבא צווחה לא אשגח בה מאן דחזא סבר משום דסבר מה שעשה עשוי ולא היא משום רווח ביתא והא קא רווח

[When the first wife] came before Rava and cried, he paid no attention to her. One who observed [the incident] thought [that Rava’s inaction] was due to his view that whatever the husband did is valid; but in fact, it is not so. [Usufruct granted to a husband] in order to provide for the comfort of his house and here, comfort was provided.
