Commentary for Kiddushin 10:11

מתקיף לה רב פפא טעמא דנתן הוא ואמר הוא הא נתן הוא ואמרה היא אינה מקודשת אימא סיפא אבל היא שנתנה לו ואמרה היא לא הוו קידושין טעמא דנתנה היא ואמרה היא הא נתן הוא ואמרה היא הוו קידושין

- But this is its meaning: If he gives [the money] and he speaks, the kiddushin is obviously valid; [but] if he gives, and she speaks, it is accounted as though she both gives and speaks, so that the kiddushin is not valid. Alternatively, if he gives and speaks, she is betrothed; if she gives and speaks, she is [certainly] not betrothed; but if he gives and she speaks, it is doubtful, and as a Rabbinical measure we fear [the validity of the kiddushin].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' She is neither married nor unmarried, and if another man betroths her she must be divorced by both, since we do not know her rightful husband. kgc');">¹⁴</span>
