Even those women who are not trusted to say: “Her husband died” are trusted to bring her get: her mother-in-law, her mother-in-law's daughter, her co-wife, her husband's brother's wife, and her husband's daughter. What is the difference between a get and [testimony of] death? That the written document is evidence.  The woman herself may bring her own get, only she must say: “It was written in my presence and signed in my presence.”

Any get which is written without specific intent for a particular woman is void. How [is this exemplified]? [If a man] was passing through the street and heard the sound of scribes dictating: “So-and-so is divorcing So-and-so from such and such a place,” and he said: “That is my name and that is my wife's name,” it is void for executing a divorce with it.  Moreover, [if] he wrote [a get] with which to divorce his wife, and he changed his mind, [and] a man of his city met him and said to him: “My name is like your name, and my wife's name is like your wife's name,” it is void for executing a divorce with it. Moreover, [if] he had two wives whose names were alike, [and] he wrote [a get] to divorce the elder, he cannot divorce the younger with it.  Moreover, [if] he said to the scribe: “Write [a get]; I will divorce whichever one I will want,” it is void for executing a divorce with it.
