איבעיא להו פוגמת כתובתה בעדים מהו אם איתא דפרעה בעדים הוה פרע לה או דלמא איתרמויי איתרמי ליה

The question was raised; What if a woman impaired her ketubah by [receiving part of it in front of] witnesses? If it is true that [her husband] had paid her [the balance] he would have done so in front of witnesses, or [is it rather assumed that] it was a mere coincidence [that witnesses were present when the first payment was made]?
