31 Ketubot 13/5-8

(5) [With regard to] one who agrees to pay money [as dowry] to his [future] son-in-law, and sticks out his leg at him [i.e., he does not pay], [the husband may] let her sit [unmarried] until her [hair] goes white. Admon says, "She may say, 'Had I agreed to pay on my own behalf, I [would be willing to] sit until my [hair] goes white; now that it was Father who agreed on my behalf, what can I do? Either take me [as a wife] or release [me].'" Rabban Gamliel said, "I see Admon's words [as preferable].

(6) [With regard to] one who contested [the title to] a field [claiming it was his own], and he [himself] was a signee [on the bill of sale from a separate party to the current holder] as a witness, Admon says, "He may say, '[I come forward now because from] the second [holder] I can [more] easily [contest possession, as] the first, [who took the field from me], is more powerful than him.'"And the Sages say, "He has lost his rights [to the field]." If he had designated [the field in question] as boundary to another [field], he has lost his rights [to it]."

(7) [With regard to] one who went overseas, and [during his absence] the path [leading to] his field was lost, Admon says, "He may walk [to his field] by the shortest [way]." And the Sages say, "He must purchase a path, [even] for one hundred maneh [a specific unit of money], or he can fly through the air [to get to his field]."

(8) [With regard to] one who produces a promissory note, and the [defendant] produced [a bill of sale, which indicates] that [the plaintiff] sold him a field, Admon says, "[The defendant] can say, 'If I owed you, you should have collected your [money] when you sold me the field.'" And the Sages say, "This one [i.e., the plaintiff] was clever; he sold him the land because he [knew he would be] able to take it as collateral [for his debt]."
