Commentary for Kiddushin 8:12

ת"ל ובעלה ולמה לי קרא הא אתיא לה אמר רב אשי משום דאיכא למימר מעיקרא דדינא פירכא מהיכא קא מייתית לה מיבמה

But does this not follow a minori? If a yebamah, who cannot be acquired by money, is acquired by intercourse; then this one [a wife], who is acquired by money, can surely be acquired by intercourse! - Let a Hebrew maidservant prove [the contrary], for she may be acquired by money, yet she is not acquired by intercourse.
