Tosefta Ketubot
Said Rabbi Yehudah: They said before Rabban Gamliel: His betrothed is [called] "his wife" and his bride is [called] "his wife"—just as this one's [his bride's] sale [of her property] is void [without his permission], so to this one's [his betrothed's] sale is void. He said to them: With new property [that which came to her since she was married to him] we are ashamed [that he has control over it], but you would roll over us old property [that which came to her before she was married to him]!? Said Rabbi Hananya ben Akavya: This is not how Rabban Gamliel replied to them. Rather, he said thus to them: No! [Maybe] you can say [this] about a married woman, for whom he has the legal right to her found objects, her handiwork and to annul her vows, but can you say this about a betrothed woman for whom he had no legal rights to her found objects, her handiwork nor to annul her vows!?
