Quoting%20commentary for Ketubot 214:7

תא שמע כיצד אמרו ממאנת אין לה מזונות אי אתה יכול לומר ביושבת תחת בעלה שהרי בעלה חייב במזונות אלא כגון שהלך בעלה למדינת הים לותה ואכלה עמדה ומיאנה טעמא דמיאנה הא לא מיאנה יהבינן לה

Come and hear: In what circumstances did they say that [a minor girl who] exercised her right of refusal is not entitled to maintenance? It cannot be said, in the case of one who lives with her husband, for her husband is obligated to maintain her, rather for instance, in a case where her husband went to a country beyond the sea, and she borrowed money and spent it and then exercised her right of refusal. Now, the reason [why she is not entitled to maintenance is] because she exercised her right of refusal; had she, however, not exercised her right of refusal, they would have given her maintenance?
