Commentary for Kiddushin 39:4
תני חדא מוכרה לאביו ואין מוכרה לבנו ותניא אידך אין מוכרה לא לאביו ולא לבנו בשלמא אינו מוכרה לא לאביו ולא לבנו כרבנן אלא מוכרה לאביו ואין מוכרה לבנו כמאן
Therefore the Writ saith, 'to be a bondwoman,' teaching that he can sell her to relations. And R'Meir?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since he utilizes 'to be a bondmaid' otherwise, how does he know these rulings?');"><sup>6</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
The baraitot both agree that a father may not sell his daughter to his son (I can just imagine how this would play out in my family!). But one baraita says he may sell her to his father.

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
At the end of last week’s daf we saw a dispute between the rabbis and R. Eliezer—the former hold that he may not sell her to his relative, while the latter holds that he may.
