Se’if 1א׳

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

How does a man divorce on a condition? It is not that he says: Write a get for my wife on this condition, or write and give it to her on this condition, and there is no need to say that he should not write in the get: On this condition so-and-so divorces so-and-so, rather how does he do it? He tells the scribe to write and the witnesses to sign, and they write a valid get without any condition at all. And afterwards he gives her the get and says to her: Behold this is your get or behold you are divorced from me on such and such condition, or he says to them or to an emissary: Give her this get on such and such condition.

Se’if 2ב׳

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

[If] he wrote the stipulation in the bill [of divorce] after he finished writing the personalized part of the bill, it is valid, whether he wrote it before the witnesses' signing or he wrote it after the witnesses' signing. However, if he wrote it before the personalized part of the bill [of divorce], even if he wrote "on condition that such-and-such", this is a possible divorce, for a claim to the body of the bill [of divorce] remains his. Likewise, if he stipulated orally before the writing of the personalized part, this is a possible divorce.

Se’if 3ג׳

כָּל מְגָרֵשׁ עַל תְּנַאי שֶׁמְּבַטֵּל 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 הַתְּנַאי כָּתוּב בַּגֵּט וְחָזַר וּמְחָקוֹ וּנְתָנוֹ לָהּ, הֲרֵי זֶה סְפֵק מְגֹרֶשֶׁת; וְאִם הָיָה הַתְּנַאי עַל פֶּה, הֲרֵי זֶה נוֹטֵל הַגֵּט מִמֶּנָּה וְחוֹזֵר וְנוֹתְנוֹ לָהּ בְּלֹא תְּנַאי כְּלָל, אוֹ בִּתְנַאי כָּשֵׁר:

Whoever divorces on a stipulation that annuls the bill [of divorce] -- such as that he stipulated to her that she shall not eat meat and not drink wine all the days of her life, or that she shall be permitted to any man except So-and-so, or that he stipulated other stipulations before the writing of the personalized part [of the bill of divorce] -- if the stipulation was written in the bill [of divorce] and he thereafter erased it and gave [the bill] to her, she is possibly divorced. If, [however,] the stipulation was oral, he takes the bill from her and thereafter gives it to her without a stipulation at all or with a valid stipulation.
