Abaye said the machlokes is when a Kohen's daughter marries a Kohen, but all agree a Yisraelis marrying a Kohen must give her at least 50% support not in terumah. A Braisa brings the machlokes between R' Tarfon and R' Akiva, with R' Yehuda ben Beseira and R' Shimon ben Gamliel offering different opinions. The difference between R' Yehuda and R' Shimon ben Gamliel is that R' Yehuda requires her to find the best price for terumah, while R' Shimon ben Gamliel gives her more terumah to allow for a quick sale.

R' Huna said a woman can tell her husband she won't take support and he won't get her earnings, as the main institution was to support the wife, and earnings are given to the husband so he won't hate her. A Braisa says the Rabanan instituted her getting supported in return for her giving him her wages. The Mishna says a husband cannot make his wife's minimum earnings hekdesh, and R' Meir says amounts above the minimum become hekdesh, while R' Yochanan Hasandler says they remain chullin.

Rav and Shmuel say excess earnings become hekdesh after the wife's death, while R' Ada bar Ahava says they become hekdesh as soon as she makes them. The base of the machlokes is whether the Rabanan instituted an exchange of something common for something common or something of a fixed amount for something of a fixed amount.
