Midrash for Sanhedrin 141:12
<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> מאי אינה ראויה אילימא חייבי כריתות וחייבי מיתות ב"ד סוף סוף אבוה אבוה נינהו ואמיה אמיה נינהו
But how can his mother possess aught, seeing that whatever a woman acquires belongs to her husband? — R. Jose. son of R. Hanina answered: It means that he steals from a meal prepared for his father and mother. But did not R. Hanan b. Molad say in R. Huna's name: He is not liable unless he buys meat and wine cheaply and consumes them? — But say thus: from the money set aside for a meal for his father and mother.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [In which money the mother has an exclusive share, as alimentation is part of the husband's obligations to the wife.] ');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
R. Yossi said: Now is this one stoned because he ate a tartimar of flesh and drank half a log of wine? Rather, the Torah probed to the "end" of this one, and said: "Let him die innocent, and let him not die guilty." For the death of the wicked is beneficial for them and beneficial for the world. What is bad for the righteous is bad for them and bad for the world. Wine and sleep for the wicked is good for them and good for the world; for the wicked, bad for them and bad for the world. Quiet for the wicked is bad for them and bad for the world; for the righteous, good for them and good for the world. The father of this one desired a yefath toar (a woman of beautiful form), and he brought the Satan into his house and his son became a sorer umoreh, whose end is to die a violent death, it being written (following) "And if there be in a man a sin whose judgment is death, then he shall be put to death."
