Commentary for Kiddushin 97:5
אמר עולא מחלוקת בשבח ממון אבל בשבח יוחסין דברי הכל אינה מקודשת מאי טעמא מסאנא דרב מכרעאי לא בעינא תניא נמי הכי מודה ר' שמעון אם הטעה לשבח יוחסים אינה מקודשת
Ulla said: The controversy [in the Mishnah] refers to a monetary advantage. But in an advantage of birth,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' E.g., if he says, on condition that I am a mamzer (q.v. Glos.) . and is found to be a Nathin, i.e., of higher caste.');"><sup>6</sup></span> all agree that she is not betrothed.
Daf Shevui to Kiddushin
R. Shimon would agree that if he deceives her by presenting himself as being of lower lineage than he actually is, she is not betrothed. While R. Shimon believes that all women would agree to betrothal for a higher betrothal payment, not all women want to be married to a man of higher lineage. Some women might actually prefer the lower lineage, perhaps because they will not have to live up to such high expectations.
