Mesorat%20hashas for Ketubot 133:11

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> המשיא את בתו סתם לא יפחות לה מחמשים זוז פסק להכניסה ערומה לא יאמר הבעל כשאכניסנה לביתי אכסנה בכסותי אלא מכסה ועודה בבית אביה וכן המשיא את היתומה לא יפחות לה מחמשים זוז אם יש בכיס מפרנסין אותה לפי כבודה:

If a man gives his daughter in marriage without specifying any conditions, he must give her not less than fifty zuz. If [the father] cut a deal [with the husband] that he would take her naked [i.e. without a dowry], the husband may not say “When I have taken her into my house I shall clothe her with clothes of my own,” rather he must provide her with clothing while she is still in her father’s house. Similarly if an orphan is given in marriage she must be given not less than fifty zuz. If funds are available she is to be provided in accordance with the dignity of her position.
