Responsa for Ketubot 127:4
לא קשיא כאן שתבע הוא כאן שתבעה היא דאמר רב תחליפא בר אבימי אמר שמואל תבע הוא נזקקין לו תבעה היא אין נזקקין לה
This is no contradiction: The one refers to the case where the man claimed her; the other to a case where she claimed him. For R. Tahlifa b. Avimi stated in the name of Shmuel: If he claimed her he is attended to; if she claimed him she is not attended to.
