Our daf presents a new Mishna. It discusses who receives the ketubah money if a father marries off his daughter and she is divorced, and then he marries her off again and she is widowed.

Does the ketubah from both marriages belong to her father?

Or does she retain rights t the second ketubah?

We explore the responsibility of parents and their rights following injury to a daughter then the reverse when the child is delinquent (Deut 22).

What are the conceptions of childhood in antiquity and what are the legal ramifications of court determined unfitness to parent from modern legal vs Jewish perspectives.
