Ein Lo Lidah and the Nature of a Father's Rights in His Daughter's Kiddushin

The shiur begins by examining the fundamental question of "ein lo lidah"—what does it mean that the father has rights when his daughter gets married? The core issue is whether ein lo lidah means the daughter does the action and keeps the money, or whether the father does the action and receives the money. Initially, there is discussion about whether the father or daughter performs the ma'aseh kiddushin, with the Gemara (גמרא) establishing that there is a pasuk indicating the father does the action and therefore receives the money. A major analytical thread focuses on the distinction between the ketana (minor girl) and the na'arah (young woman). The Gemara suggests that perhaps by a ketana the father does the action and receives the money, but by a na'arah the framework might be different. The pasuk "kol shevach nurim l'aviv" (all the earnings of the young woman go to her father) becomes central to the analysis. The question becomes: does this pasuk mean the father must be given the money directly as the primary party to the kiddushin, or does it merely mean that any money the daughter receives ultimately belongs to her father?
