Se’if 1א׳

כּוֹתְבִין שׁוֹבָר לָאִשָּׁה אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין בַּעְלָהּ עִמָּהּ, וּבִלְבַד שֶׁיְּהֵא מַכִּירָהּ. וְהַבַּעַל נוֹתֵן אֶת שְׂכַר הַסוֹפֵר. הַגָּה: וְתַלְמִיד חָכָם שֶׁאֵין דַּרְכּוֹ לְדַקְדֵּק בַּנָשִׁים, נֶאֱמָן אַחַר כָּךְ לוֹמַר שֶׁטָּעָה וְכָתַב שׁוֹבֵר לְאִשָּׁה אַחֶרֶת עַל שֵׁם זוֹ כִּי טָעָה בָּהּ. (טַעַם זֶה מְפֹרָשׁ גְּמָרָא בְּפֶרֶק גֵּט פָּשׁוּט):

They write "he breaks [from] a wife" even though she has no husband with her, and only that she is for sale (able to be married). And the husband gives a payment to the scribe. Hagah: And[/but] a talmud chacham (torah scholar), these are not his ways. [Rather, his ways are] to be precise [regarding the matters of] marriage, to be faithful afterwards [and] to say "I erred" and I wrote [a document] and I break [my marriage] with the woman after her [marriage] because he made a mistaken in [marrying] her. (This taste explains the Gemara (explaination) in [the] Chapter [about] divorce documents easily):

Se’if 2ב׳

הַמּוֹצֵא שׁוֹבָר עַל שֵׁם הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁנִּפְרְעָה מִכְּתֻבָּתָהּ, בִּזְמַן שֶׁהָאִשָּׁה מוֹדָה שֶׁנְּתָנַתּוּ לַבַּעַל, יַחֲזִירֶנּוּ לוֹ. וְאִם אֵינָהּ מוֹדָה, אֶלָּא אוֹמֶרֶת: מִמֶּנִּי נָפַל, לֹא יִתְּנֶנּוּ לֹא לָאִישׁ וְלֹא לָאִשָּׁה:

The finder breaks [the marriage] using the name of the woman, that she is paid back from her ketuba. In [the] time that the woman rejoices that he gave her away [so she could find another] husband, he will return us to him. And if she does not rejoice, rather she says "From me he fell (I didn't consent to the divorce), they will not give them a husband or a wife (neither can get remarried)".
