Commentary for Kiddushin 36:7
האי אלמנה היכי דמי אילימא דקדיש נפשה אלמנה קרי לה ואלא דקדשה אביה מי מצי מזבין לה והא אין אדם מוכר את בתו לשפחות אחר אישות
Come and hear: He [the father] may not sell her to relations.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Who cannot designate her on account of consanguinity.');"><sup>12</sup></span> On the authority of R'Eliezer it was said: He may sell her to relations. And both agree that he may sell her, if a widow, to a High Priest, and if divorced, or a haluzah,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The Talmud now tries to figure out what this case of the widow is. She could not have betrothed herself because she is a minor (otherwise the father could not be selling her).

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
It also cannot be a case where the father betrothed her, because once he betroths her, he cannot sell her.
