Beis Hillel said: We have not heard [this tradition] except [in the case] where she came from the harvest, and [from] the same country, as in the incident which occurred. Beis Shammai said to them: It is the same whether she came from harvesting grain, or [picking] olives, or picking grapes, or from one country to another -— the Sages mentioned the harvest only in recounting the actual incident. Beis Hillel recanted [and began] to rule like Beis Shammai.

Beis Shammai say: She may marry, and she receives her kesubah; [but] Beis Hillel say: She may marry, but she does not receive her kesubah. Beis Shammai said to them: You permitted the grave ervah [offense], but you will not permit the less grave money [offense]? Beis Hillel replied: We find that the brothers do not inherit the estate on her testimony. Beis Shammai replied: We can learn [this] from her kesubah document, in which he writes to her, “If you marry another you shall receive what is written to you.” Beis Hillel recanted [and began] to rule like Beis Shammai.

Everyone is believed to testify for her, except for her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law's daughter, her co-wife, her sister-in-law, and her husband's daughter. Why is there a difference between [testi- mony concerning] a bill of divorce and [testimony concerning] death? Because the document is proof.  [If] one witness said, “He died,” and she remarried, and then another came and said, “He did not die” —- she need not be discharged. [If] one witness said, “He died,” and two [witnesses] said, “He did not die” —- even if she remarried she must be discharged. [If] two [witnesses] said, “He died,” and one witness said, “He did not die” —- even if she had not remarried, she may do so.

[If] one [wife] said he died, and one said he did not die, the one who said he died may marry and collect her kesubah, while the one who said he did not die may not marry or collect her kesubah.  [If] one said, “He died,” and one said, “He was killed” —- R' Meir says: Since they contradict each other they may not remarry; R' Yehudah and R' Shimon say: Since both agree that he is deceased, they may remarry.  [If] one witness said, “He died,” and one witness said, “He did not die,” [or] a woman said, “He died,” and a woman said, “He did not die” —- she may not remarry.
