Kiddushin 56 - Betrothal with Items Forbidden For Benefit

If one betroths a woman with the fruits of the tree's first three years, with grains planted in a vineyard, with an ox that was condemned to be stoned, with a decapitated calf, with birds of a metzora, with hair of a Nazirite, with a firstborn male of a donkey, with a mixture of meat cooked with milk, with an unconsecrated animal slaughtered in the Temple Courtyard, she is not betrothed.

However, she is betrothed if he transgressed and sold any of these items and betrothed her with their payment.
