אמר אביי לא לאוסרה עליו רב פפא אמר להשקותה כשהיא נשואה כדתניא אין מקנין לארוסה להשקותה כשהיא ארוסה אבל מקנין לארוסה להשקותה כשהיא נשואה
DO NOT DRINK AND DO NOT RECEIVE WHAT IS DUE UNDER THE MARRIAGE-SETTLEMENT. [In these instances the man] does not let her drink but he may give her warning. But for what purpose [does he warn her]? Is it not to make her lose her marriage-settlement!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Consequently, without warning she would not lose it. ');"><sup>3</sup></span>
Sifrei Devarim
R. Yashiah said: Three things were told to me by R. Zeira in the name of the men of Jerusalem: A sotah (a woman suspected of infidelity) — if her husband wishes to forgive her, he may do so. A sorer umoreh — if his father and mother wish to forgive him, they may do so. An elder who rebels against beth-din — if his colleagues wish to forgive him, they may do so.

Sifrei Devarim
(Devarim 21:19) "Then his father and mother shall take hold of him": We are hereby taught that he is not liable unless he has a father and a mother. These are the words of R. Meir. R. Yehudah says: If his mother were not fit for (i.e., similar to) his father, he does not become a sorer umoreh.
