Talmud for Ketubot 153:14

אמר רב האומר איני זן ואיני מפרנס יוציא ויתן כתובה אזל ר' אלעזר אמרה לשמעתא קמיה דשמואל אמר אכסוה שערי לאלעזר עד שכופין אותו להוציא יכפוהו לזון

Rav stated: If a husband says, “I will neither maintain nor support [my wife],” he must divorce her and give her her ketubah. R. Elazar went and recited this statement in front of Shmuel [who] exclaimed, “Make Elazar eat barley; rather than force him to divorce her they should force him to maintain her.”
