Commentary for Ketubot 3:1
מתני׳ <big><strong>בתולה</strong></big> נשאת ליום הרביעי ואלמנה ליום החמישי שפעמים בשבת בתי דינין יושבין בעיירות ביום השני וביום החמישי שאם היה לו טענת בתולים היה משכים לבית דין:
A virgin is married on the fourth day [of the week] and a widow on the fifth day, for twice in the week the courts sit in the towns, on the second day [of the week] and on the fifth day, so that if he [the husband] had a claim as to the virginity [of the bride] he could go early [on the morning of the fifth day of the week] to the court.
Rashi on Ketubot
It is an establishment of the Rabanan that you marry a besula on Wednesday, like the Gemara will explain later on.
