Divorce Chapter 8

When [a man] divorces [his wife] according to a conditional arrangement, and the condition is fulfilled, the divorce is effective. If the condition is not fulfilled, the divorce is not effective. All the laws governing conditional agreements have been explained in Hilchot Ishut, Chapter 6. There it is explained that when [a man] divorces [his wife] according to a conditional arrangement, and the condition is fulfilled, the divorce is effective from the time the condition is fulfilled, and not from the time the get is given to her. As such, a husband may nullify a get, add to his conditions or add a further condition, until the original condition is fulfilled although [the woman] has already been given the get. If the husband dies [before the condition is fulfilled], or the get is lost or consumed by fire before the condition is fulfilled, the divorce is not effective. A priori, [the woman] should not remarry until the condition is fulfilled. If, however, she has already married, she need not leave [her second husband], unless she is no longer able to fulfill [the condition]. [For since] the condition is nullified [the divorce is void.] There it is explained that if [the husband] tells [his wife]: "You are divorced from the present time - or from today - on the following condition," or "You are divorced on the condition that this and this be done," when the condition is fulfilled the divorce becomes effective retroactively from the time the get reaches the woman. Therefore, once the get reaches the woman's possession, [the husband] can no longer nullify the get, add to his conditions or add a further condition. If the get is lost or consumed by fire, or even if the husband dies before the condition is fulfilled, she should fulfill the condition after his death, and the divorce is considered effective from the time the get was given to her. A priori, [the woman] may remarry even before the condition is fulfilled. We do not suspect that she will not fulfill the condition, because it was stated using the wording "From this time" or "On the condition that...."

כָּל הַמְגָרֵשׁ עַל תְּנַאי בֵּין שֶׁאָמַר מֵעַכְשָׁו בֵּין שֶׁאָמַר אִם יִהְיֶה וְאִם לֹא יִהְיֶה הֲרֵי זֶה לֹא יִתְיַחֵד עִם אִשְׁתּוֹ כָּל זְמַן שֶׁלֹּא נִתְקַיֵּם הַתְּנַאי אֶלָּא בִּפְנֵי עֵד. וַאֲפִלּוּ עֶבֶד וַאֲפִלּוּ שִׁפְחָה חוּץ מִשִּׁפְחָתָהּ אוֹ בְּנָהּ קָטָן מִפְּנֵי שֶׁאֵינָהּ בּוֹשָׁה מִלְּשַׁמֵּשׁ בִּפְנֵיהֶם. וְהַדָּבָר יָדוּעַ שֶׁאִם נִתְיַחֵד עִמָּהּ בִּפְנֵי שְׁנֵי עֵדִים כְּאֶחָד אֲפִלּוּ נִתְקַיֵּם הַתְּנַאי אַחַר כָּךְ הֲרֵי זוֹ סְפֵק מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. שֶׁמָּא בְּעָלָהּ וּבָטֵל הַגֵּט כְּמוֹ שֶׁיִּתְבָּאֵר בַּהֲלָכוֹת אֵלּוּ:

Whenever [a man] divorces [his wife] conditionally - whether he states, "from this time onward," or makes [a repeated statement of the condition, as required] - he should not enter into privacy with his wife throughout the entire time the condition remains unfulfilled. Instead, [all his dealings with her should be] in the presence of [at least one] witness. Even a servant or a maid-servant can serve this purpose, with the exception of her [private] maid-servant or her young son. For she is not embarrassed to enter into marital relations in the presence of these people. It is well known that if [the husband] enters into privacy [with his wife] in the presence of two witnesses at the same time, the status of the divorce is doubtful, even if the condition was fulfilled. [We suspect] that he engaged in marital relations [with her], and nullified the get, as will be explained in these laws.

כֵּיצַד מְגָרֵשׁ אָדָם עַל תְּנַאי. לֹא שֶׁיֹּאמַר כִּתְבוּ גֵּט לְאִשְׁתִּי עַל תְּנַאי זֶה. אוֹ כִּתְבוּ וּתְנוּ לָהּ עַל תְּנַאי. וְאֵין צָרִיךְ לוֹמַר שֶׁלֹּא יִכְתֹּב בְּתוֹךְ הַגֵּט עַל תְּנַאי זֶה גֵּרֵשׁ פְּלוֹנִי אֶת פְּלוֹנִית. אֶלָּא כֵּיצַד עוֹשֶׂה. אוֹמֵר לַסּוֹפֵר לִכְתֹּב וְלָעֵדִים לַחְתֹּם וְכוֹתְבִין גֵּט כָּשֵׁר בְּלֹא שׁוּם תְּנַאי בָּעוֹלָם. וְאַחַר כָּךְ נוֹתֵן לָהּ הַגֵּט וְאוֹמֵר לָהּ הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ אוֹ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת בָּזֶה עַל מְנָת כָּךְ וְכָךְ. אוֹ יֹאמַר לָהֶם אוֹ לַשָּׁלִיחַ תְּנוּ לָהּ גֵּט זֶה עַל מְנָת כָּךְ וְכָךְ:

How should a man divorce [his wife] conditionally? He should not say: "Write a get for my wife on this condition," or "Write a get and give it to her on this condition." Needless to say, he should not write in the get: "So and so divorces so and so on the [following] condition." What procedure should instead be followed? He should instruct the scribe to write [a get] and the witnesses to sign. They should write an acceptable get that does not mention any condition at all. Afterwards, he should give her the get and tell her: "This is your get..." or "Behold you are divorced on the following condition." Or he should tell [the witnesses] or his agent: "Give her this get on the following condition."

כָּתַב הַתְּנַאי בַּגֵּט אַחַר שֶׁגָּמַר לִכְתֹּב תֹּרֶף הַגֵּט הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט כָּשֵׁר. בֵּין שֶׁכְּתָבוֹ קֹדֶם חֲתִימַת הָעֵדִים בֵּין שֶׁכְּתָבוֹ לְאַחַר חֲתִימַת הָעֵדִים. אֲבָל אִם כְּתָבוֹ קֹדֶם תֹּרֶף הַגֵּט אֲפִלּוּ כָּתַב עַל מְנָת כָּךְ וְכָךְ הֲרֵי זֶה סְפֵק גֵּרוּשִׁין שֶׁהֲרֵי נִשְׁאַר לוֹ זְכוּת בְּגוּפוֹ שֶׁל גֵּט. וְכֵן אִם הִתְנָה עַל פֶּה קֹדֶם כְּתִיבַת הַתֹּרֶף הֲרֵי זֶה סְפֵק גֵּרוּשִׁין:

If [a husband] had a condition written in the get after the essential portion of the get was written, the get is acceptable, regardless of whether [the condition] was written before the signature of the witnesses or after their signature. If, however, [the condition] was written before the essential portion of the get - even if he used the wording, "on the following condition" - the status of the divorce is doubtful, for the husband retains rights in the essential matter of the get. Similarly, if he verbally stated a condition before the essential portion of the get was written, the status of the divorce is doubtful.

הַמְגָרֵשׁ אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ וְהִתְנָה עָלֶיהָ בֵּין בִּכְתָב אַחַר הַתֹּרֶף בֵּין עַל פֶּה אַחַר הַתֹּרֶף וְאָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מֻתֶּרֶת לְכָל אָדָם חוּץ מֵאִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי אוֹ אֶלָּא לְאִישׁ פְּלוֹנִי וְנָתַן לָהּ הַגֵּט עַל תְּנַאי זֶה אִם הָיָה אוֹתוֹ הָאִישׁ עַכּוּ״‎ם אוֹ עֶבֶד אוֹ אָסוּר עָלֶיהָ מִשּׁוּם עֶרְוָה כְּגוֹן אָבִיהָ וְאָחִיהָ אוֹ אָבִיו אוֹ אָחִיו הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט כָּשֵׁר. וְאִם הָיָה אוֹתוֹ הָאִישׁ שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ בָּהּ קִדּוּשִׁין אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהוּא מֵחַיָּבֵי לָאוִין וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהוּא קָטָן אֵינוֹ גֵּט. שֶׁהֲרֵי שִׁיֵּר בַּגֵּט וְאֵין זֶה כְּרִיתוּת. הָיָה בַּעַל אֲחוֹתָהּ שֶׁאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁהוּא הַיּוֹם אָסוּר עָלֶיהָ מִשּׁוּם עֶרְוָה אִם תָּמוּת אֲחוֹתָהּ יִהְיֶה מֻתָּר לָהּ הֲרֵי זוֹ סְפֵק מְגֹרֶשֶׁת:

[These rules apply when a man] divorces his wife and [makes the following conditions] whether verbally or in writing, after the essential portion [of the get] has been written,. If he tells her: "Behold, you are permitted [to marry] any man aside from so and so," or "...with the exception of so and so," [the ruling would depend on the identity of the individual specified]. If that individual is a gentile, a servant or a person with whom the woman is forbidden to engage in marital relations - e.g., her father, her brother, his father or his brother - the get is acceptable. If, however, the individual is one who could consecrate her [as a wife], the get is void, even if there is a negative prohibition [that is not punishable by death - neither at the hand of G-d nor the court - involved in such relations] or that individual is a minor. [The rationale is that by making such a condition,] the husband retained certain rights with regard to the divorce, and [the bond between the couple] is not [entirely] severed. If [the individual mentioned] is the husband of the wife's sister, the status of the divorce is in doubt. For although at present relations between the wife and that man are forbidden, if her sister dies, she will become permitted to marry him.

The status of the divorce is in doubt when [a husband divorces his wife and] tells her: "Behold, you are permitted [to marry] any man, aside from a man who will be born in the future, who does not exist at present," "...aside from promiscuous relationships" - i.e., it is as if he said: "Behold, you are permitted to marry any man, but with regard to promiscuous relations, it is as if you remain forbidden like a married woman." [This ruling also applies if he tells her:] "You are permitted to any man who will engage in relations with you in the ordinary manner, but with regard to anal intercourse, you remain prohibited," "You are permitted [to marry] any man, aside from one who consecrates you with a legal document" - i.e, the woman may be consecrated by [a gift of] money or via sexual relations, but if one consecrates her with a legal document, she is forbidden like a married woman - or "You are permitted [to marry] any man, with the exception of [the right to] nullify your vows" - i.e., [I] retain none of the rights of the marriage relationship except [the right to] nullify your vows; in that regard, it is as if you remained my wife. [Similarly, if the husband desires that the woman be considered as if she were married with regard to her right] to partake of terumah, or with regard to his right to inherit her property if she dies [in his lifetime, the status of the divorce is in doubt].

אָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מֻתֶּרֶת לְכָל אָדָם חוּץ מֵרְאוּבֵן וְשִׁמְעוֹן וְחָזַר וְאָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מֻתֶּרֶת לִרְאוּבֵן וְשִׁמְעוֹן הֲרֵי זוֹ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. שֶׁהֲרֵי בָּטֵל הַתְּנַאי שֶׁהָאֲנָשִׁים שֶׁהִתְנָה בָּהֶן הִתִּירָן לָהּ:

[If a husband] tells [his wife]: "You are permitted [to marry] any man aside from Reuven and Shimon," and then tells her: "You are permitted [to marry] Reuven or Shimon," the divorce is acceptable. For he has nullified his condition, permitting his wife [to marry] the men [concerning whom] the condition was made.

אָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מֻתֶּרֶת לִרְאוּבֵן הֲרֵי זוֹ אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא בִּטֵּל תְּנָאוֹ שֶׁל שִׁמְעוֹן. אָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מֻתֶּרֶת לְשִׁמְעוֹן אוֹ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מֻתֶּרֶת אַף לְשִׁמְעוֹן הֲרֵי זֶה סְפֵק גֵּרוּשִׁין שֶׁמָּא לֹא הִתִּירָה אֶלָּא לְשִׁמְעוֹן וּרְאוּבֵן בְּאִסּוּרוֹ עוֹמֵד וְזֶה שֶׁאָמַר אַף לְשִׁמְעוֹן כְּלוֹמַר לְכָל אָדָם אַף לְשִׁמְעוֹן. אוֹ שֶׁמָּא הִתִּירָהּ לַכּל וְזֶה שֶׁאָמַר אַף לְשִׁמְעוֹן וְהוּא הַדִּין לִרְאוּבֵן שֶׁשִּׁמְעוֹן סָמוּךְ הָיָה לִרְאוּבֵן בִּתְנָאוֹ:

[If, after telling his wife that she is permitted to marry any man aside from Reuven and Shimon, the husband] tells her: "You are permitted [to marry] Reuven," the divorce is void, because he has not nullified the condition [preventing her from marrying] Shimon. If he tells her: "You are permitted to [marry] Shimon," or "You are even permitted to [marry] Shimon," the status of the divorce is in doubt. We suspect that perhaps he permitted her only to Shimon, and she is still forbidden to Reuven. By saying "even to Shimon," he meant "to everyone, even to Shimon." [Nevertheless, the divorce is not void, for] perhaps he permitted her to everyone, and by saying "even to Shimon," he meant "to Shimon and also to Reuven." [This is plausible,] for Shimon was mentioned after Reuven in his condition.

הִתְנָה עָלֶיהָ וְאָמַר הַיּוֹם אֵין אַתְּ אִשְׁתִּי וּלְמָחָר אַתְּ אִשְׁתִּי אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת וְאַף עַל פִּי שֶׁכָּרַת בֵּינוֹ לְבֵינָהּ הַיּוֹם. לְפִיכָךְ כּוֹתְבִין בְּגִטִּין מִן הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה וּלְעוֹלָם:

If [a husband] makes a condition, saying; "Today you are not my wife, but tomorrow you will be my wife," the divorce is not effective. Although the connection between the couple is severed on the day [of the get, it is renewed afterwards]. For this reason, in the wording of the get, is written the phrase: "from the present day onward."

הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁלֹּא תִּשְׁתִּי יַיִן כָּל יְמֵי חַיָּיְכִי אֵינוֹ גֵּט שֶׁאֵין זֶה כְּרִיתוּת. כָּל יְמֵי חַיַּי אוֹ כָּל יְמֵי [חַיֵּי] פְּלוֹנִי הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט שֶׁהֲרֵי כָּרַת בֵּינוֹ לְבֵינָהּ וְלֹא תִּשָּׁאֵר לוֹ עָלֶיהָ רְשׁוּת כְּשֶׁיָּמוּת אוֹתוֹ פְּלוֹנִי:

[If a husband tells his wife:] "This is your get on the condition that you never drink wine for the rest of your life," the divorce is not effective, for [the relationship between them] has not been severed. If the condition states "for as long as I live" or "for as long as so and so lives," the divorce is effective, for the relationship between the couple is severed. When that person dies, [the woman] will no longer have any connection with [her previous husband].

הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁלֹּא תֵּלְכִי לְבֵית אָבִיךָ עַד שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט. שֶׁלֹּא תֵּלְכִי לְבֵית אָבִיךָ לְעוֹלָם אֵינוֹ גֵּט שֶׁהֲרֵי אֵין זֶה כְּרִיתוּת. לְפִיכָךְ הָאוֹמֵר הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁלֹּא תֹּאכְלִי בָּשָׂר זֶה לְעוֹלָם. שֶׁלֹּא תִּשְׁתִּי יַיִן זֶה לְעוֹלָם אֵינוֹ גֵּט שֶׁאֵין זֶה כְּרִיתוּת. עַד שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט:

[If a husband tells his wife:] "This is your get on the condition that you do not go to your father's house for 30 days, the divorce is effective. "...That you never go to your father's house," the divorce is not effective, for [the relationship between them] has not been severed. [Similarly, if a husband] tells [his wife:] "This is your get on the condition that you never eat meat," or "...that you never drink wine," the divorce is not effective, for [the relationship between them] has not been severed. "...[that you not eat meat or drink wine] for 30 days, the divorce is effective.

הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁלֹּא תִּנָּשְׂאִי לִפְלוֹנִי אֵינוֹ גֵּט. הָא לְמָה זֶה דּוֹמֶה לְאוֹמֵר לָהּ הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁלֹּא תִּשְׁתִּי יַיִן לְעוֹלָם אוֹ שֶׁלֹּא תֵּלְכִי לְבֵית אָבִיךְ לְעוֹלָם אוֹ כָּל יְמֵי חַיָּיְכִי. אֲבָל אִם אָמַר לָהּ עַל מְנָת שֶׁלֹּא תִּנָּשְׂאִי לִפְלוֹנִי עַד חֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט וְלֹא תִּנָּשֵׂא לוֹ כָּל זְמַן שֶׁהִתְנָה. וְאִם נִשֵּׂאת בָּטֵל הַגֵּט לְמַפְרֵעַ. זָנְתָה עִמּוֹ הַוָּלָד כָּשֵׁר וְהַגֵּט כָּשֵׁר שֶׁלֹּא הִתְנָה אֶלָּא עַל הַנִּשּׂוּאִין:

[If a husband tells his wife:] "This is your get on the condition that you never marry so and so," the divorce is not effective. To what can this be compared? to his telling her: "This is your get on the condition that you never drink wine," "...that you never go to your father's home," or "[that you not go to your father's home] for the rest of your life." If, however, he tells her: "[This is your get] on the condition that you do not marry so and so for fifty years," the divorce is effective; she may not marry the person during the time specified. If she marries him, the divorce is nullified retroactively. If [the woman] engages in promiscuous sexual relations with the man specified, any child born to her is legitimate, and the divorce remains acceptable. For [the husband's] condition mentioned only marriage.

הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּנָּשְׂאִי לִפְלוֹנִי אִם נִשֵּׂאת לוֹ הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט כִּשְׁאָר כָּל הַתְּנָאִים. אֲבָל אָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים לֹא תִּנָּשֵׂא לֹא לְאוֹתוֹ פְּלוֹנִי וְלֹא לְאַחֵר. לְאוֹתוֹ פְּלוֹנִי לֹא תִּנָּשֵׂא שֶׁמָּא יֹאמְרוּ נְשֵׁיהֶן נוֹתְנִין בְּמַתָּנָה זֶה לָזֶה. וּלְאַחֵר לֹא תִּנָּשֵׂא שֶׁאֵינוֹ גֵּט אֶלָּא בְּקִיּוּם הַתְּנַאי. עָבְרָה וְנִשֵּׂאת לְאוֹתוֹ פְּלוֹנִי לֹא תֵּצֵא. נִשֵּׂאת לְאַחֵר קֹדֶם שֶׁתִּנָּשֵׂא לְאוֹתוֹ פְּלוֹנִי בָּטֵל הַגֵּט וְתֵצֵא וְהַוָּלָד מַמְזֵר וּצְרִיכָה גֵּט מִשֵּׁנִי:

[If a husband tells his wife:] "This is your get on the condition that you marry so and so," if she marries him [the divorce is effective], as it would be if other conditions were involved. Nevertheless, our Sages said that she should not marry either the man specified or any other man. She should not marry the man specified, lest the people say: "They are giving their wives as presents to each other." Nor should she marry anyone else, for the get is effective only when the condition is fulfilled. If she transgresses and marries the man specified, she need not be divorced. If she marries another person before she marries the man specified, the get is nullified, and she must leave her second husband. Any child she bears [the second husband] is illegitimate. He must, however, divorce her with a get.

הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ וְהַנְּיָר שֶׁלִּי אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת שֶׁאֵין זֶה כְּרִיתוּת. עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּתְּנִי לִי אֶת הַנְּיָר הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט וְתִתֵּן:

[If a husband tells his wife:] "Behold, this is your get, but the paper belongs to me," the divorce is not effective, for [the relationship between them] has not been severed. "...On the condition that you give me the paper," the divorce is effective, [provided] she gives [him the paper].

חָקַק הַגֵּט עַל טַס שֶׁל זָהָב וּנְתָנוֹ לָהּ וְאָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ וּכְתֻבָּתֵךְ כָּשֵׁר וְנִתְקַבְּלָה כְּתֻבָּתָהּ אִם יֵשׁ בַּטַּס כְּדֵי כְּתֻבָּתָהּ וְאִם לָאו יַשְׁלִים כְּתֻבָּתָהּ:

If he engraved a get on a plate of gold and gave it to her, telling her: "This is [both] your get and [the money due you by virtue of] your ketubah, [the divorce is] acceptable and she is considered to have received the money due her by virtue of her ketubah, provided the plate is worth the value of her ketubah. If it is not, he should compensate [for the difference].

כָּל הַמְגָרֵשׁ עַל תְּנַאי שֶׁמְּבֻטָּל הַגֵּט כְּגוֹן שֶׁהִתְנָה לָהּ שֶׁלֹּא תֹּאכַל בָּשָׂר וְלֹא תִּשְׁתֶּה יַיִן כָּל יְמֵי חַיֶּיהָ. אוֹ שֶׁתִּהְיֶה מֻתֶּרֶת לְכָל אָדָם חוּץ מִפְּלוֹנִי. אוֹ שֶׁהִתְנָה עָלֶיהָ שְׁאָר תְּנָאִים קֹדֶם כְּתִיבַת הַתֹּרֶף. אִם הָיָה תְּנָאוֹ כָּתוּב בַּגֵּט וְחָזַר וּמְחָקוֹ וּנְתָנוֹ לָהּ הֲרֵי זוֹ סָפֵק מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. וְאִם הָיָה הַתְּנַאי עַל פֶּה הֲרֵי זֶה נוֹטֵל הַגֵּט מִמֶּנָּה וְחוֹזֵר וְנוֹתְנוֹ לָהּ בְּלֹא תְּנַאי כְּלָל אוֹ בִּתְנַאי כָּשֵׁר:

[The following rules apply when a man] divorces [his wife] conditionally, including a stipulation that causes the divorce to be considered void - e.g., that she never eat meat or drink wine for the rest of her life, or that she be free to marry any man with the exception of a particular individual, or that he mentioned other conditions before the essential portion of the get was written: If the condition was written in the get, and he rubbed it out and gave it to her, the status of the divorce is in doubt. If the condition was stated verbally, he should take the get from her and give it to her again without mentioning a condition, or mention a condition that is acceptable.

כֵּיצַד. הֲרֵי שֶׁנָּתַן גֵּט לְאִשְׁתּוֹ וְאָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת בָּזֶה וּמֻתֶּרֶת לְכָל אָדָם חוּץ מִפְּלוֹנִי. אִם נְטָלוֹ מִמֶּנָּה וְחָזַר וּנְתָנוֹ לָהּ וְאָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי אַתְּ מֻתֶּרֶת לְכָל אָדָם אוֹ הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ הֲרֵי זוֹ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. וְכֵן כָּל כַּיּוֹצֵא בּוֹ:

What is implied? [A man] gave a get to his wife and told her, "Behold, you are divorced with this [get] and are free [to marry] any man aside from so and so." If he took [the get] from her and gave it to her and said: "Behold you are free [to marry] any man," or "This is your get," the divorce is effective. The same applies in other similar situations.

הַנּוֹתֵן גֵּט לְאִשְׁתּוֹ עַל תְּנַאי שֶׁתִּתֵּן לוֹ מָאתַיִם זוּז וְחָזַר וְהִתְנָה עָלֶיהָ תְּנַאי אַחֵר בִּפְנֵי עֵדִים שֶׁתְּשַׁמֵּשׁ אָבִיו שְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים. לֹא בִּטְּלוּ דְּבָרָיו הָאַחֲרוֹנִים אֶת הָרִאשׁוֹנִים אֶלָּא הֲרֵי זֶה כְּאוֹמֵר לָהּ עֲשִׂי אֶחָד מִשְּׁנֵי הַתְּנָאִים. רָצָת מְשַׁמֶּשֶׁת רָצָת נוֹתֶנֶת. וְאֵין אֶחָד מִן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְאֶחָד מִן הָאַחֲרוֹנִים מִצְטָרְפִין. אֲבָל אִם הִתְנָה עָלֶיהָ שֶׁתִּתֵּן לוֹ מָאתַיִם זוּז וְחָזַר וְהִתְנָה בִּפְנֵי שְׁנַיִם שֶׁתִּתֵּן לוֹ שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת זוּז. כְּבָר בִּטֵּל הַתְּנַאי שֶׁל מָאתַיִם וּצְרִיכָה לִתֵּן שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת זוּז. וְכֵן כָּל כַּיּוֹצֵא בָּזֶה:

When [a man] gives a get to his wife on the condition that she give him two hundred zuz, and afterwards establishes a second condition in the presence of witnesses that she serve his father for two years, his latter statement did not nullify his original one. Instead, it is as if he told her: "Fulfill one of the two conditions." If she desires, she may serve his father, or if she desires, she may give [him the money]. One of the witnesses to the first condition cannot join with one of the witnesses to the second condition [to testify that the get was given on a conditional basis]. If, however, [the husband] made a condition that the woman must give him 200 zuz, and afterwards made a condition in the presence of two [witnesses] that she must give him 300 zuz, the condition of 200 has been nullified, and she must give [him] 300 zuz. The same principle applies in all similar situations.

הִתְנָה עָלֶיהָ שֶׁתַּעֲשֶׂה דָּבָר זֶה סְתָם הֲרֵי זֶה כִּמְפָרֵשׁ יוֹם אֶחָד הוֹאִיל וְלֹא פֵּרֵשׁ כַּמָּה זְמַן תַּעֲשֶׂה. כֵּיצַד. אָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתַּעֲשִׂי עִמִּי מְלָאכָה. עַל מְנָת שֶׁתְּשַׁמְּשִׁי אֶת אַבָּא. עַל מְנָת שֶׁתֵּינִיקִי אֶת בְּנִי. אִם עָשְׂתָה עִמּוֹ מְלָאכָה אוֹ אִם שִׁמְּשָׁה אֶת אָבִיו יוֹם אֶחָד אוֹ שֶׁהֵינִיקָה בְּנוֹ יוֹם אֶחָד בְּתוֹךְ הַזְּמַן שֶׁהַבֵּן יוֹנֵק בּוֹ וְהוּא בְּתוֹךְ אַרְבָּעָה וְעֶשְׂרִים חֹדֶשׁ הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט. מֵת הַבֵּן אוֹ מֵת אָבִיו קֹדֶם שֶׁתֵּינִיק אוֹ שֶׁתְּשַׁמֵּשׁ אֵינוֹ גֵּט:

If [a husband] makes a condition that his wife must perform a specific activity without stating a duration of time, it is considered as if he stated that she should perform this activity for one day. For he did not specify any amount of time. What is implied? If he told her: "This is your get on condition that you perform work for me," "...on condition that you serve my father," or "...on condition that you nurse my son," if she performs work for him or serves his father for one day or nurses his son for one day during the time when a child [usually] nurses - i.e., within his first 24 months [of life] - the get is effective.If the son or the father dies before she nurses him or serves him, the get is not effective.

אָמַר לָהּ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתֵּינִיקִי אֶת בְּנִי אוֹ תְּשַׁמְּשִׁי אֶת אָבִי שְׁתֵּי שָׁנִים. הֲרֵי זוֹ מַשְׁלֶמֶת הַזְּמַן שֶׁפֵּרֵשׁ. מֵת הַבֵּן אוֹ הָאָב בְּתוֹךְ הַזְּמַן אוֹ שֶׁאָמַר הָאָב אֵין רְצוֹנִי שֶׁתְּשַׁמְּשֵׁנִי אֵינוֹ גֵּט שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא נִתְקַיֵּם הַתְּנַאי. וְכֵן כָּל כַּיּוֹצֵא בָּזֶה:

If [the husband] tells her: "[This is your get] on condition that you nurse my son..." or "...serve my father for two years," [for the divorce to be effective] she must complete the time specified. If the son or the father dies within this period, or the father says: "I don't want you to serve me," the get is not effective, for the condition has not been fulfilled. The same principles apply in all similar situations.

הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּתְּנִי לִי מָאתַיִם זוּז מִכָּאן וְעַד שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם. נָתְנָה בְּתוֹךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם מִדַּעְתּוֹ הֲרֵי זוֹ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. לְאַחַר שְׁלֹשִׁים אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. נְתָנָהּ לוֹ בְּעַל כָּרְחוֹ וְהוּא אֵינוֹ רוֹצֶה לְקַבֵּל הֲרֵי זֶה גֵּט פָּסוּל עַד שֶׁתִּתֵּן מִדַּעְתּוֹ. חָזַר וְאָמַר לָהּ בְּתוֹךְ הַשְּׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם הֲרֵי הֵן מְחוּלִין לָךְ אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא נַעֲשָׂה הַתְּנַאי. מֵת בְּתוֹךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם הוֹאִיל וְשָׁלְמוּ הַשְּׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם וְלֹא נָתְנָה אֵינָהּ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת:

[The following rules apply when a husband] tells [his wife]: "[This is your get] on condition that you give me 200 zuz within 30 days." If she gives him [the money] within 30 days with his consent, the divorce is effective. If she gives [it] after 30 days, the divorce is not effective. If she gives it to him against his will, and he refuses to accept it, the divorce is unacceptable until he willingly accepts it. If he tells her within the 30 days, "I am willing to forego [the money on your behalf," the divorce is not effective, because the condition was not fulfilled. If he dies within the 30 days, since the 30 days are completed without her giving [him the money], the divorce is not effective.

אָמַר לָהּ הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּתְּנִי לִי מָאתַיִם זוּז וְלֹא קָבַע זְמַן וּמֵת קֹדֶם שֶׁתִּתֵּן אֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לִתֵּן לְיוֹרְשָׁיו שֶׁלֹּא הִתְנָה עָלֶיהָ אֶלָּא שֶׁתִּתֵּן לוֹ. וְלֹא בָּטַל הַגֵּט שֶׁהֲרֵי לֹא קָבַע זְמַן. לְפִיכָךְ אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאָבַד הַגֵּט אוֹ נִקְרַע קֹדֶם שֶׁיָּמוּת הֲרֵי זוֹ לֹא תִּנָּשֵׂא לְזָר עַד שֶׁתַּחֲלֹץ:

If he tells her, "[This is your get] on condition that you give me 200 zuz," without specifying a time period, and he dies before she gives [him the money], she cannot give [the sum] to his heirs; the condition was that it be given to him. [In this instance, however,] the get is not nullified [by the husband's death], since a definite time period was not specified. Therefore, even if the get was lost or ripped before he died, [the woman] should not marry another man until she performs the rite of chalitzah.

הֲרֵי זֶה גִּטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּתְּנִי לִי כְּלִי פְּלוֹנִי אוֹ בֶּגֶד פְּלוֹנִי וְאָבַד אוֹתוֹ כְּלִי אוֹ אוֹתוֹ בֶּגֶד אוֹ נִגְנַב אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁנָּתְנָה לוֹ אֶלֶף זוּז בְּדָמָיו אֵינוֹ גֵּט עַד שֶׁתִּתֵּן אוֹתוֹ כְּלִי אוֹ אוֹתוֹ בֶּגֶד עַצְמוֹ אוֹ עַד שֶׁיְּבַטֵּל הַתְּנַאי:

[If the husband tells her:] "This is your get on condition that you give me this particular utensil," or "...this particular garment," and that utensil or garment is lost or stolen, even if she gives him 1000 zuz in compensation for [the desired object], the divorce is not effective until she gives him the specified utensil or garment, or until he nullifies the condition.

מִי שֶׁנִּתְגָּרְשָׁה עַל תְּנַאי וְקִדְּשָׁהּ אַחֵר קֹדֶם שֶׁיִּתְקַיֵּם הַתְּנַאי. אִם נִתְקַיֵּם הַתְּנַאי הֲרֵי זוֹ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. וְאִם לֹא נִתְקַיֵּם הַתְּנַאי וּבָטַל הַגֵּט אֵינָהּ צְרִיכָה גֵּט מִשֵּׁנִי שֶׁהֲרֵי אֵין קִדּוּשִׁין תּוֹפְסִין בָּהּ. אֲבָל אִם נִשֵּׂאת וְלֹא נִתְקַיֵּם הַתְּנַאי וּבָטַל הַגֵּט צְרִיכָה גֵּט מִשֵּׁנִי כְּמוֹ שֶׁבֵּאַרְנוּ:

[The following rules apply when a woman] is divorced conditionally, and another man consecrates her before the condition is fulfilled. If the condition is fulfilled [afterwards], she is consecrated. If, however, the condition is not fulfilled and the get is nullified, she does not require a get from the second husband, for [in this situation] she cannot be consecrated. If, however, she marries [a second husband], the condition is not fulfilled, and the get is nullified, she must also be divorced by the second [husband], as explained above.
