In our MISHNA we learn : An orphan girl who was married off by her mother or brother before reaching the age of majority may refuse to continue living with her husband upon reaching the age of majority, thereby retroactively annulling their marriage.
We discuss who may not claim her ketuba. We learn that a minor married off by her mother or siblings who then refuses her husband is not entitled to her ketuba. As well, a woman in a secondary forbidden relationship and an aylonit are both not entitled to their ketubot.
However, the Mishna goes on to state that women in a number of different categories are indeed entitled to their ketubot.
We explore the plight of the orphan in talmud and antiquity.
