Commentary for Ketubot 162:6

אמר רב יוסף כיון דאמור רבנן לא ליזבין אע"ג דזבין לא הוה זביניה זביני דתניא מי שמת והניח שומרת יבם והניח נכסים במאה מנה אף על פי שכתובתה אינה אלא מנה לא ימכור שכל נכסיו אחראין לכתובתה

Joseph said: Since the Rabbis have said that he may not sell, his sale is invalid even if he had already sold it. For it was taught: If a man died and left a widow who was awaiting the decision of a levir and also left property of the value of a hundred maneh, [the levir] must not sell the property although the widow’s ketubah amounts only to one maneh, because all his property is pledged to her ketubah.
