**הַנּוֹשֵׂא אֶת הָאִשָּׁה וּפָסְקָה עִמּוֹ.** בִּשְׁטָר וְקִנְיָן, אוֹ שֶׁאָמַר לְעֵדִים אַתֶּם עֵדַי שֶׁאֲנִי מְחַיֵּב עַצְמִי לָזוּן אֶת בִּתָּהּ שֶׁיֶּשׁ לָהּ מֵאִישׁ אַחֵר:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
הנושא את האשה ופסקה עמו – in the document and symbolic form of making an agreement binding, or he (i.e., the husband) aid to witnesses: “you are my witnesses that I obligate myself to support her (i.e., my wife-to-be’s) daughter that she has from another man.

**מוֹלִיךְ לָהּ מְזוֹנוֹתֶיהָ לִמְקוֹם שֶׁאִמָּהּ שָׁם.** דְּקַיְמָא לָן בַּת אֵצֶל אִמָּהּ בֵּין גְּדוֹלָה בֵּין קְטַנָּה כָּל זְמַן שֶׁהָאֵם רוֹצָה, וְהַבֵּן עַד שֵׁשׁ שָׁנִים אֵצֶל אִמּוֹ, וְחַיָּב הָאָב לְפַרְנְסוֹ וְהוּא אֵצֶל אִמּוֹ אִם הָאֵם רוֹצָה:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
מוליך לה מזונותיה למקום שאמה שם – for we hold that a daughter is with her mother whether as an adult or as a child – all the time that the mother wants. And the son, until six years with his mother, and the father is obligated to provide support and he is with his mother, if the mother wants.

**בְּנוֹתֵיהֶן נִזּוֹנוֹת מִנְּכָסִים בְּנֵי חוֹרִין.** וְלֹא מִמְּשֻׁעְבָּדִים, שֶׁאֵין מוֹצִיאִים לִמְזוֹן הָאִשָּׁה וְהַבָּנוֹת מִנְּכָסִים מְשֻׁעְבָּדִים, מִפְּנֵי תִקּוּן הָעוֹלָם, שֶׁאֵין הַלָּקוֹחוֹת יוֹדְעִים כַּמָּה יַעֲלוּ הַמְּזוֹנוֹת כִּי הֵיכִי דְּלִיזָהֲרוּ לְהַנִּיחַ לָהֶם מָקוֹם לִגְבּוֹת:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
בנותיהן ניזונות מנכסים בני חורין – but not mortgaged [properties] for we do not release for the support of the wife and the daughters from mortgaged properties because of the welfare of the world, for those who bought the property do not know how much food provisions will cost so that they would beware to leave them a place from which to collect.

**וְנוֹתְנִין לָהּ מָדוֹר.** וְכֵן כְּלֵי תַשְׁמִישׁ וַעֲבָדִים וּשְׁפָחוֹת שֶׁהָיְתָה מִשְׁתַּמֶּשֶׁת בָּהֶם בְּחַיֵּי בַעְלָהּ. וְאִם נָפַל הַבַּיִת אֵין חַיָּבִים לִבְנוֹת לָהּ בַּיִת אַחֵר, דְּאַתְּ תְּהֵא יַתְבָא בְּבֵיתִי תְּנַן. וַאֲפִלּוּ רָצְתָה לִבְנוֹתוֹ מִמָּמוֹנָהּ אֵין שׁוֹמְעִין לָהּ:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
ונותנין לה מדור – and similarly, utensils, male servants and maid servants that she would use them during the lifetime of her husband and if the house fell, they don’t have to build her another house, for it is taught in the Mishnah: “you will dwell in my house,” and even if she wanted to build it from her from her own funds, we don’t listen do her.

**וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים.** לֹא הֻזְכְּרוּ חָמֵשׁ וְעֶשְׂרִים שָׁנָה לְהַפְסִידָהּ כְּתֻבָּתָהּ בִּשְׁבִיל הַטּוֹבָה שֶׁתַּעֲשֶׂה מִנִּכְסֵי הַיְתוֹמִים, אֶלָּא לְעִנְיַן הַמְּחִילָה הֻזְכְּרוּ, דְּהוֹאִיל וְשָׁתְקָה וְלֹא תָבְעָה כָּל הַשָּׁנִים הַלָּלוּ מָחֲלָה, הִלְכָּךְ כָּל זְמַן שֶׁהִיא בְבֵית בַּעְלָהּ אֵין שְׁתִיקָתָהּ מְחִילָה, שֶׁמִּפְּנֵי שֶׁמְּכַבְּדִים אוֹתָהּ הִיא בּוֹשָׁה לִתְבֹּעַ כְּתֻבָּתָהּ, אֲבָל בְּבֵית אָבִיהָ מִשֶּׁשָּׁתְקָה עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנִים מְחִילָה הִיא:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
וחכמים אומרים – they did not mention twenty five years to cause her to lose her Ketubah settlement because of the good that she will do from the property of the orphans, but rather, concerning the issue of renunciation, it was mentioned by them that since she was silent and had not claimed [her Ketubah settlement] all these years, she renounced [it], therefore, all the time that she is in the house of her husband, her silence is renunciation since because they honor her, she is ashamed to claim her Ketubah settlement; but in her father’s house, since she had been silent for twenty-five years, it is a renunciation.

**מֵתָה, יוֹרְשֶׁיהָ מַזְכִּירִין כְּתֻבָּתָהּ.** כְּלוֹמַר צְרִיכִין לִתְבֹּעַ כְּתֻבָּתָהּ בְּתוֹךְ עֶשְׂרִים וְחָמֵשׁ שָׁנָה. וְדַוְקָא כְּשֶׁנִּשְׁבְּעָה עַל כְּתֻבָּתָהּ קֹדֶם שֶׁמֵּתָה הוּא דְיוֹרְשֶׁיהָ יְכוֹלִים לִתְבֹּעַ כְּתֻבָּתָהּ. אֲבָל אִם לֹא נִשְׁבְּעָה עַל כְּתֻבָּתָהּ, אֵין יוֹרְשֶׁיהָ יוֹרְשִׁים מִכְּתֻבָּתָהּ כְּלוּם, שֶׁאֵין אָדָם מוֹרִישׁ שְׁבוּעָה לְבָנָיו:

**Bartenura on Mishnah, trans. by Rabbi Robert Alpert, 2020:**
מתה יורשיה מזכירין כתובתה – meaning to say, they need to claim her Ketubah settlement within twenty-five years and especially when she took an oath on her Ketubah prior to her passing. This is the case where her heirs are able to claim her Ketubah settlement, but if she had not taken an oath regarding her Ketubah, her heirs do not inherit from her Ketubah anything, and no one bequeaths an oath to his children.
