Hebrew Text

[edit]
מי שנתן רשות לשלוחו לקדש את בתו,
והלך הוא וקידשה —
אם שלו קדמו, קידושיו קידושין,
ואם של שלוחו קדמו, קידושיו קידושין.
אין ידוע —
שניהם נותנין גט.
ואם רצו, אחד נותן גט ואחד כונס.
וכן, האישה שנתנה רשות לשלוחה לקדשה,
והלכה היא וקידשה את עצמה —
אם שלה קדמו, קידושיה קידושין,
ואם של שלוחה קדמו, קידושיו קידושין.
אין ידוע —
שניהן נותנין גט.
ואם רצו, אחד נותן גט ואחד כונס.

One who gave authority to his agent to betroth his daughter [to another man],
and he himself went and betrothed her —
If his preceded, his betrothal is [a valid] betrothal,
and if his agent's preceded, [the agent's] betrothal is [a valid] betrothal,
[If] it is not known [which preceded] —
Both of [the potential grooms] give a bill of divorce.
And if they wish, one gives a bill of divorce and one brings [her] in [to marriage].
