Commentary for Kiddushin 37:2

ולרב נחמן בר יצחק דאמר אפילו לרבי יוסי ברבי יהודה מעות הראשונות לקידושין ניתנו במאי מוקים לה מוקים לה כרבי אליעזר דאמר לשפחות אחר שפחות הוא דלא מצי מזבין לה אבל לשפחות אחר אישות מצי מזבין לה

Resh Lakish propounded: Can a man designate [his bondmaid] for his son, a minor? The All-Merciful said, his son,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And if he espouse her unto his son - Ex. XXI, 9.');"><sup>2</sup></span>

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

R. Nahman b. Yitzchak says that R. Yose b. R. Yehudah holds that the original sale money counts as kiddushin money. Should the master designate her, he need not give more kiddushin money. But then we have a problem—the father essentially betrothed her when he sold her? How can he sell her again?
The answer is that this baraita agrees with R. Eliezer who had said that a father may sell his daughter for servitude after marriage.
