A woman is acquired in three ways; she acquires herself in two ways: She is acquired with money, with a document, or with cohabitation.  With money —- Beis Shammai say: With a dinar or with something worth a dinar. Beis Hillel, however, say: With a perutah or with something worth a perutah. How much is a perutah? One-eighth of an Italian issar.  She acquires herself with a get or with the death of the husband.  A yevamah is acquired with cohabitation, and acquires herself with chalitzah or with the death of the yavam.

A get whose writing is [in] Hebrew, and whose witnesses [are in] Greek; [in] Greek, and its witnesses [in] Hebrew; one witness [in] Hebrew and one witness [in] Greek; [or one which has] the writing of the scribe and a witness, is valid.  [A signature which reads:] “So-and-so, Witness” is valid. [One which reads:] “The son of So-and-so, Witness” is valid. [If he wrote:] “So-and-so, the son of So-and-so,” and he did not write: “Witness,” it is valid; and this is what the pure minded of Jerusalem used to do. [If] he wrote his surname or her surname, it is valid.  A get drawn up under coercion —- [if] by a Jew, it is valid; but by a gentile, it is void; but they beat him through gentiles who say: “Do as the Jews say to you,” and it is valid.

[If] she was reported in the town [to be] married, she is married; [to be] divorced, she is divorced; as long as there is no qualification. What is a qualification? [If they said:] “So-and-so divorced his wife on a condition” [or] “He threw her kiddushin to her, [and there was] doubt [if] it was close to her or close to him” —- this is a qualification.

Beis Shammai say: A man may not divorce his wife unless he found in her an act of adultery, as it says (Deuteronomy 24:1): Because he found in her an adulterous thing. Beis Hillel say: Even if she burnt his food, as it says: Because he found in her an adulterous thing. R' Akiva says: Even if he found another more beautiful than her, as it says (ibid.): And it comes to pass that she does not find favor in his eyes.
