Commentary for Kiddushin 38:7

תניא אידך המוכר את בתו והלך וקידשה לאחר שיחק באדון ומקודשת לשני דברי רבי יוסי ברבי יהודה וחכ"א אם רצה לייעד מייעד

- Said R'Aha the son of Raba: It is analogous on the view of the Rabbis.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since they maintain that the designation takes effect even when she can no longer do a perutah's worth of work, it must have commenced as soon as she was sold: otherwise, what effects her betrothal now? Hence the same applies to this.');"><sup>5</sup></span> But that is obvious?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' That this analogy may be drawn, the cases being so alike.');"><sup>6</sup></span>

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

According to R. Yose son of R. Yehudah, the initial sale is not an act of betrothal, even if the master believes that it will lead to it eventually. Therefore, if the father betroths her to someone else, she is betrothed. While this is a betrayal of the master, it is effective. The sages say that the master can designate her, even if the father tried to betroth her to someone else. They hold that the sale essentially was an act of betrothal.
The baraita draws a parable to a man who betroths a woman after thirty days. If she accepts kiddushin from someone else within those thirty days, she is betrothed to this second person.
