Midrash for Bekhorot 71:18
מהו דתימא
she is believed because if she wished she need not have said anything;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Since it was presumed that she was unmarried; therefore if there was a suspicion that she proposed marrying during her husband's lifetime without a divorce, she could have remained silent.');"><sup>13</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 15:20) "And if there be in it a blemish": This tells me only of an animal that was born unblemished and became blemished. Whence do I derive (the same for) one that was born blemished! From "every blemish."
