The Sages instituted [the obligation of] a ketubah for a woman, etc. - That is to say, if her ketubah were [an obligation] from the Torah, he would not be believed to nullify it, except with established testimony. But since her ketubah was instituted by the Sages, they said, and they said (i.e., the Sages both established it and defined its rules), they who instituted it said that he is believed to cause her to lose [the ketubot], even with the claim of ‘an open opening’.

There is a presumption that a person does not go to the trouble of preparing a wedding feast, etc. — We are not concerned that a person would make such a claim falsely.
