<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> מתניתין מני ר"ש היא דתניא מכרה כתובתה משכנה כתובתה עשתה כתובתה אפותיקי לאחר אין לה מזונות (דברי רבי מאיר) ר"ש אומר אע"פ שלא מכרה ולא משכנה כתובתה אלא מחציתה אבדה מזונותיה
GEMARA. Who [is the author of the first ruling in] our Mishnah? It is R. Shimon. For it was taught: If a woman sold [all] her ketubah or pledged it, or mortgaged [the land that was pledged for] her ketubah to a stranger, she is not entitled to maintenance. R. Shimon ruled: Even if she did not sell or pledge [all] her ketubah, but half of it only, she loses her maintenance.
Tosefta Ketubot
A widow who claims her ketubah, but the inheritors [of her husband] say to her: "You received your ketubah [already]!"—until she is [re]married, they need to bring evidence that she received her ketubah; once she is [re]married, she needs to bring evidence that she did not receive her ketubah. If she sold her ketubah, used her ketubah as a pledge [for a loan that goes to the creditor in the meantime], used her ketubah as a security [on a loan but that remains with her]—she loses her financial support. Rabbi Shimon says: Even if she sold some [of her ketubah], even if she made some of it as a pledge or some of it as a deposit—she loses her financial support. One doesn't need to say [that this applies] after her husband's death, but even during her husband's lifetime [if she did these things to her ketubah, she would lose her right to financial support after his death]. But [her losing her financial support only applies if] she writes [in the contract dealing with her ketubah] "These I sold for my ketubah, these I sold for my financial support"—words of Rabbi Yehudah. Rabbi Yoseh says: [It applies only] if she sold and wrote without specification; that's why her legal power is stronger [that most of the time the inheritors have to bring the evidence].
