Description
Our sugya addresses a variety of case where she accepted the Kiddushin in silence, do we assume that she approved of the Kiddushin? Rava formulates a principle the effect of whihc is that here silence is only meaningful to clinch the Kiddushin if the מתנה he gives her for the sake of Kiddushin is clear and valid at the moment of the נתינה. Had she rejected the idea of Kiddushin she should have immediately returned the Kesef. However if there was no clear-cut Kesef Kiddushin, e.g. it was an object whose value was less than a פרוטה, her silence subsequent to the נתינה does not indicate tacit approval & the Kiddushin is invalid. The same applies if she had interest to hold on to the $ he gives her for a reason other than Kiddushin.
