Commentary for Kiddushin 38:13

ולר"מ תנאו קיים והתניא האומר לאשה הרי את מקודשת לי ע"מ שאין לך עלי שאר כסות ועונה ה"ז מקודשת ותנאו בטל דברי ר"מ רבי יהודה אומר בדבר שבממון תנאו קיים

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

The Talmud raises what seems to be a contradiction in the opinions of R. Meir. Above he implies that one can make a stipulation against that which is written in the Torah. But in the case of a husband who tries to stipulate with a woman that he will betroth her but not take on the responsibilities mandated by the Torah he rules that the stipulation is invalid. This seems clearly to be a contradiction.
