Commentary for Ketubot 80:5

ואלא הא דאמר רב הונא אמר רב מנין שמעשה הבת לאביה שנאמר (שמות כא, ז) וכי ימכור איש את בתו לאמה מה אמה מעשה ידיה לרבה אף בת מעשה ידיה לאביה למה לי תיפוק ליה מבנעוריה בית אביה אלא ההיא בהפרת נדרים הוא דכתי'

But what about that which R. Huna said in the name of Rav: From where do I know that a daughter’s handiwork belongs to her father? As it is said, “And if a man sell his daughter to be a slave”, just as the handiwork of a slave belongs to her master so does the handiwork of a daughter belong to her father.” Why do I need this? Let him derive it from “Being in her youth in her father’s house”? Rather that text was written in connection only with the annulment of vows?
