שאלה על ראובן ושמעון שזיווגו בניהם יחד ובשעת הפסיקה התנו שאם תפול קטטה בין הנערים שהחתן והכלה יחלקו כל הנכסים וכו' ועכשיו הבחור אומר אם אא פסק עלי א"א במה שפסק. לא כל הימינו לומר כן כי הממון הזה של האבות כאשר פסקו והתנו בממונם כן יקום כי אדעתא דהכי יהבי.
Q. A and B arranged a match between their children. At the time the amounts of dowry and parents' gifts were agreed upon, A and B stipulated that the bride and groom, if they subsequently quarrel, should divide their combined possessions equally between themselves. Now the groom refuses to abide by such stipulation claiming that he is not bound by his father's agreements. A. Since the possessions of the young couple originally came from their parents, the former are bound by the stipulations of the latter regarding the disposal of such possessions. For the dowry and the presents were originally given on condition that the agreement between the parents be carried out. SOURCES: Am II, 129.
