Commentary for Kiddushin 54:9

מי בדקי לה מיא (במדבר ה, לא) ונקה האיש מעון אמר רחמנא בזמן שהאיש מנוקה מעון מים בודקים את אשתו אין איש מנוקה מעון אין המים בודקים את אשתו

Shall we say that he [the arus] warned her<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'was jealous of her'; v. ibid.14; i.e., he formally expressed his jealousy in the presence of two witnesses and forbade her to closet herself privily with the object of his suspicions.');"><sup>15</sup></span> when an arusah and makes her drink [the bitter waters]<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Num. V, 24.');"><sup>16</sup></span> likewise as an arusah, - but we learnt: An arusah and one who waits for the yabam neither drink nor receive their kethubah:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., they are divorced or given halizah, but forfeit their marriage settlements.');"><sup>17</sup></span>

Daf Shevui to Kiddushin

If the husband warns her when she is a betrothed woman and then she was secluded with him, he should not marry her. He must divorce her. If he does marry her then he too has sinned. If he has sinned, she does not drink the water. So a betrothed woman can never take this oath.
