אבן העזר קל״גEven HaEzer 133

Se’if 1א׳

צָרִיךְ שֶׁיִּהְיוּ שְׁנֵי עֵדִים כְּשֵׁרִים בִּשְׁעַת מְסִירַת הַגֵּט, וְשֶׁיִּמְסֹר לָהּ הַגֵּט בִּפְנֵי שְׁנֵיהֶם בְּיַחַד (ב"י). וְכֵן צָרִיךְ לְהַחְתִּים עָלָיו עֵדִים לְכַתְּחִלָּה, אֲבָל בְּדִיעֲבַד אִם לֹא הָיוּ אֶלָּא עֵדֵי חֲתִימָה, וּמָסְרוֹ בֵּינוֹ לְבֵינָהּ, כָּשֵׁר. וְכֵן אִם הָיוּ עֵדֵי מְסִירָה וְלֹא הָיוּ בּוֹ עֵדֵי חֲתִימָה, כָּשֵׁר. וְיֵשׁ אוֹמְרִים שֶׁאִם נוֹדַע שֶׁנִּתַּן לָהּ בְּלֹא עֵדֵי מְסִירָה, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁעֵדִים חֲתוּמִים בּוֹ, פָּסוּל. וּמִיהוּ, כְּשֶׁרוֹאִין אוֹתוֹ חָתוּם, תּוֹלִין שֶׁבְּוַדַּאי נִמְסַר בְּעֵדֵי מְסִירָה. הַגָּה: וְעַיֵּן לְעֵיל רֵישׁ סִימָן ק"ל דְּלוֹקְחִין כַּת אַחַת שֶׁל עֵדִים לַחֲתִימָה וְלִמְסִירָה, וְלֹא שְׁנֵי כִּתּוֹת:

It is necessary that there are two valid witnesses at the time of the handing over of the divorce document, as it says and he should hand to her the divorce document before the two of them together (Beit Yosef). And it is necessary to sign it with witnesses in an ideal situation, rather, after the fact, if there are only witnesses of the signing, and they handed it between them, [the document] is valid. And this is the case if there are witnesses of the handing over and there were not witnesses of the signing, [the document] is valid. There are those who say, that if it is known that he gave it to her without witnesses of the handing over, even though the witnesses signed it, [the document] is invalid. However, when they see it signed, it relies on that it was definitely handed over with witnesses of the handing over. Gloss: See before at the beginning of siman 130 that one pair [of witnesses] take witnesses of the signing and of the handing over, or without two pairs.

Se’if 2ב׳

צָרִיךְ שֶׁיִּהְיוּ גַּם הַחֲתִימוֹת יְבֵשׁוֹת בִּשְׁעַת נְתִינַת הַגֵּט:

The signatures, too, need to be dry when the *get* [bill of divorce] is presented.

Se’if 3ג׳

רְגִילִין לִתֵּן הַגֵּט בְּמִנְיַן עֲשָׂרָה:

We normally present the *get* [bill of divorce] in the presence of a quorum of ten.
