Text Excerpt

זה הכלל: גט אחר מיאון ⁠— אסורה לחזור לו, מיאון אחר גט ⁠— מותרת לחזור לו.

This is the principle concerning a minor girl who refused her husband and then married several times: If the bill of divorce followed the refusal and she remarried, she is forbidden to return to him. If the refusal followed the bill of divorce, she is permitted to return to him. Since the refusal followed the bill of divorce it is clear that she was a minor and neither the marriage nor the divorce were valid by Torah law. However, when the ultimate separation is by means of a bill of divorce, there is no indication that she was a minor at the time and there is potential for confusion with an adult divorcée.

הממאנת באיש ונשאת לאחר וגירשה, לאחר ומיאנה בו, לאחר וגירשה, זה הכלל: כל שיוצאה הימנו בגט ⁠— אסורה לחזור לו, במיאון ⁠— מותרת לחזור לו.

If a minor girl refuses one man and marries another, and he divorces her, and then she marries another man and refuses him, and then she marries another man and he divorces her, this is the principle for this case: With regard to anyone she leaves by means of a bill of divorce, it is prohibited for her to return to him. With regard to anyone she leaves by means of refusal, she is permitted to return to him.

גמ׳ אלמא אתי מיאון ומבטל גט.

Talmud: It was taught in the Mishnah that if the man gave his minor wife a bill of divorce but subsequently remarried her and she refused him, and then she married someone else, she is permitted to remarry the first husband when her marriage to the second is concluded. Apparently, refusal comes and nullifies a bill of divorce.
