Ramban on Exodus 21:11/רמב"ן על שמות כ״א:י״א
אוְאִם שְׁלָשׁ אֵלֶּה, הַיִּעוּד לוֹ אוֹ לִבְנוֹ אוֹ הַפִּדְיוֹן לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה לָהּ, אָז תֵּצֵא חִנָּם אֵין כָּסֶף כְּצֵאת הָעֲבָדִים הַנִּזְכָּר:
1AND IF THESE THREE — designating her to himself as his wife, or to his son, or allowing her to be redeemed — HE DO NOT UNTO HER, then SHALL SHE GO OUT FOR NOTHING, WITHOUT MONEY, as do the menservants mentioned.109. But if the master do not these three things to her [as explained], then she shall go out as the menservants do. See Ramban above at the end of Verse 8 [“The plain meaning of Scripture in this section etc.”]. To this he now adds that if the master fails to do any of the three ways to ameliorate her condition, then she shall go out free for nothing, as menservants do.
