Commentary for Kiddushin 123:8

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> המקדש את האשה ואמר כסבור הייתי שהיא כהנת והרי היא לויה לויה והרי היא כהנת עניה והרי היא עשירה עשירה והרי היא עניה הרי זו מקודשת מפני שלא הטעתו

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

In this case the man made a mistake with regard to the woman’s identity, but she didn’t cause the mistake. The betrothal is therefore valid. After all, were these grounds to annul a betrothal a man could always annul his betrothal. He could always say that he thought something was true and it turned out to be untrue and there would be no way of falsifying his claim.
