Commentary for Ketubot 46:3

אמר מר אני טהורה וחברתי טמאה אינה נאמנת היכי דמי אי דליכא עדים על עצמה אמאי לא מהימנא נשביתי וטהורה אני קאמרה אלא פשיטא דאיכא עדים

The Master said: “[If she says] “I am pure and my friend is impure” she is not believed. What was the actual case? If there are no witnesses, why is she not believed as to herself? She says, “I was taken captive and I am pure!” Hence it is obvious that there are witnesses.
