Quotation for Ketubot 96:11

הא גופא קשיא אמרת נכנסה עמו ללין טעמא דללין הא סתמא לשם נישואין אימא סיפא נכנסה עמו לשם נישואין הא סתמא ללין

But the baraita itself is self-contradictory! You said, “She entered it with him to rest for the night” the reason [why such an act is not regarded as marriage is] because [she entered for the purpose of] resting for the night. But if she had entered with no specified intention [it would be deemed to have been made] with an intention to be married. But then say the final clause: “She entered it with him with the intention of being married,” if she entered with no specified intention [it would be deemed to have been] in order to rest there for the night?
