Commentary for Kiddushin 92:3
ושמואל סבר מעות מתנה אדם יודע שאין קידושין תופסין באחותו וגמר ונתן לשום מתנה ונימא לה לשום מתנה סבר כסיפא לה מילתא
Then let him tell her that it is a gift? - He thought that she would feel humiliated. Rabina raised an objection: If one separates his hallah<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' V. Glos.');"><sup>3</sup></span> from the flour, it is not hallah,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since Scripture wrote, Of the first of your dough (Num. XV, 20) .');"><sup>4</sup></span>
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
Shmuel agrees that the man knew that the kiddushin would not be valid, but he assumes that the man gave his sister the money as a gift. He did not tell her it was a gift because he thought she would be embarrassed to receive a gift from him (evidently she was not embarrassed that he asked her to marry him!).
