Mishnayos Gittin Perek 7 Mishnah 5

גיטין פרק ז׳ משנה ה׳

5
If a husband says to his wife: This is your bill of divorce on the condition that you will give me two hundred dinars, then she is divorced and must give two hundred dinars in order to fulfill the condition of the bill of divorce. If a husband says to his wife: This is your bill of divorce on the condition that you will give me money from now until the conclusion of thirty days, if she gives the money to him within thirty days she is divorced. And if not she is not divorced. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel said: There was an incident in the city of Tzaidan involving one who said to his wife: This is your bill of divorce on the condition that you will give me my coat [itztaliti], and she lost his coat, so that she could not give it to him. And the Rabbis said that she must give him the value of the coat, and by doing so she fulfills the condition and is divorced.

הֲרֵי זֶה גִטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּתְּנִי לִי מָאתַיִם זוּז, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְגֹרֶשֶׁת, וְתִתֵּן. עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּתְּנִי לִי מִכָּאן וְעַד שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם, אִם נָתְנָה לוֹ בְתוֹךְ שְׁלֹשִׁים יוֹם, מְגֹרֶשֶׁת, וְאִם לָאו, אֵינָה מְגֹרֶשֶׁת. אָמַר רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, מַעֲשֶׂה בְצַיְדָּן בְּאֶחָד שֶׁאָמַר לְאִשְׁתּוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה גִטֵּךְ עַל מְנָת שֶׁתִּתְּנִי לִי אִצְטְלִיתִי, וְאָבְדָה אִצְטְלִיתוֹ, וְאָמְרוּ חֲכָמִים, תִּתֵּן לוֹ אֶת דָּמֶיהָ:

הרי זו מגורשת ותתן – she is divorced from now – from the time of the receiving of the Jewish bill of divorce, and she is required to give [according to] the condition he made with her. But if the Jewish bill of divorce was lost or torn prior to it being given, there is no need for a new Jewish bill of divorce, for anyone who states "on condition” is like someone who says, “from now.”

אמר רשב"ג מעשה בצידן – The Gemara explains that this Mishnah is deficient and should be read as follows: If he [i.e., the husband] said to her: “on condition that you give me my suit but his suit was lost, specifically when he mentions it; Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel states that she should give him its monetary value since the husband only had the intention for his own comfort; and there was an episode in Sidon with one who said to his wife, etc., and the Sages said that she should give him its monetary value, but the Halakha is not according to Rabban Shimon ben Gamaliel.

הרי זו מגורשת ותתן. מגורשת מעכשיו משעת קבלת הגט, וחייבת ליתן מה שהתנה עמה. ואם אבד הגט או נקרע קודם שתתן, אינה צריכה גט אחר, דכל האומר על מנת כאומר מעכשיו:

אמר רשב״ג מעשה בצידן. בגמרא מפרש דחסורי מחסרא והכי קתני, אם אמר לה על מנת שתתני לי איצטליתי ואבדה איצטליתו, דוקא קאמר לה. רשב״ג אומר תתן לו את דמיה שלא נתכוין הבעל אלא להרווחה דידיה, ומעשה נמי בצידן באחד שאמר לאשתו וכו׳ ואמרו חכמים תתן לו את דמיה. ואין הלכה כרשב״ג:
