Commentary for Kiddushin 37:9
הוא תני לה והוא אמר לה בקידושי יעוד ואליבא דרבי יוסי ברבי יהודה דאמר מעות הראשונות לאו לקידושין ניתנו רב נחמן בר יצחק אמר אפילו תימא לקידושין ניתנו שאני הכא דאמר רחמנא יעדה
[Are these] two [statements]?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Actually, it is only one law: since the man's consent is necessary, it follows that he must be an adult, for a minor's consent is not recognised in law.');"><sup>12</sup></span> - He states the reason: What is the reason that designation can be performed only by an adult?
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Abaye also explains this baraita. If the original sale money was not given as kiddushin, then there still needs to be an act of kiddushin. This kiddushin happens when the master designates her to himself or her son. Like all regular acts of betrothal, this needs to be done with her consent.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Nahman b. Yitzchak says that even if the original sales money counts as kiddushin, we can still say that designation requires her consent. The Torah uses the word “ye’adah” in order to let us know that her consent is required. [Below we will see that R. Nahman b. Yitzchak himself holds that the original sales money does not count as kiddushin].
