Reference for Ketubot 114:6

אמר רבי אבא בר לוי אין פוסקין על הקטנה להשיאה כשהיא קטנה אבל פוסקין על הקטנה להשיאה כשהיא גדולה פשיטא מהו דתימא ליחוש דלמא מעיילא פחדא מהשתא וחלשה קא משמע לן

Abba b. Levi stated: hey may not make arrangement for marrying a minor while she is still a minor. But they may make arrangements for marrying a minor when she becomes an adolescent. Is not this obvious? What might you have said? We should be concerned lest she begin to feel anxiety at now and so become ill. Hence he taught us [that they may make arrangements for a minor to marry when she becomes an adolescent].
