#The First part of the Kesubah is known as the Ikar Kesubah and is a T'nai Bais Din.

#The Second part is added on by the husband of his own free will, it's known as the Tosefes Kesubah. The Minhag today is to add on 100 Zekukin Cesef, fromthe times of the Maharil.(This Hischaivus from the Husband is effected through a Kinyan Sudar, were the Wife gives him for example a handkerchief, or the Mesadeir Kidushin or Eidim could also based off Zachin [Tosfos says that even though the handkerchief doesn't belong to her it's okay because it works through the din of Eved K'naani<ref>f</ref> | #The Second part is added on by the husband of his own free will, it's known as the Tosefes Kesubah.

#The Third part of the Kesubah is known as the Nedunya. To explain this we first need a little background. When a woman gets married there are two types of property he can bring into the [[marriage]], Nichsei Melug and Nicsei Tzon Barzel. Nichsei Melug is when she owns the property and the husband has the right to eat the Peiros. Nichsei Tzon Barzel is propert that when she got married the value of it was written into her Kesubah. She may collect this even many years after the wedding (the value might have depreciated). <ref>Replace with desired reference</ref> | #The Third part of the Kesubah is known as the Nedunya.

#One should be extremely careful to correctly write the names of the Chatan, Kallah and their last names exactly as they should be spelled. Misspelling even one of the names to the point where it either colloquially becomes a different name (even if there is just a one letter discrepancy (e.g. Gershom/Gershon)) or it becomes a name that is non-sensical renders the entire Ketubah invalid.<ref>Mishpat HaKetubah 2:14:28 | #One should be extremely careful to correctly write the names of the Chatan, Kallah and their last names exactly as they should be spelled.

Exceptions may include if it is a name that is often known to have two versions (e.g. Yeshaya vs Yeshayahu), if the name written is a well known nickname of the person's real name (e.g. Avi for Avraham, Benny for Binyamin, Tzipi for Tziporah) or if the error does not result in an appreciable change in pronunciation of the person's name (e.g. an extra yud after the pey in Pinchas, an extra vav in the name Ziva). | Exceptions may include if it is a name that is often known to have two versions (e.g. Yeshaya vs Yeshayahu), if the name written is a well known nickname of the person's real name (e.g. Avi for Avraham, Benny for Binyamin, Tzipi for Tziporah) or if the error does not result in an appreciable change in pronunciation of the person's name (e.g. an extra yud after the pey in Pinchas, an extra vav in the name Ziva). | ||
