משנה: מִי שֶׁנָּתַן רְשׁוּת לִשְׁלוּחוֹ לְקַדֵּשׁ אֶת בִּתּוֹ וְהָלַךְ הוּא וְקִידְּשָָׁהּ אִם שֶׁלּוֹ קָדְמוּ קִידּוּשָׁיו קִידּוּשִׁין וְאִם שֶׁלִּשְׁלוּחוֹ קָדַם קִידּוּשָׁיו קִידּוּשִׁין וְאִם אֵינוֹ יָדוּעַ שְׁנֵיהֶן נוֹתְנִין גֵּט וְאִם רָצוּ אֶחָד נוֹתֵן גֵּט וְאֶחָד כּוֹנֵס. וְכֵן הַאִשָּׁה שֶׁנָּתְנָה רְשׁוּת לִשְׁלוּחָהּ לְקַדְּשָׁהּ וְהָלְכָה וְקִידְּשָׁהּ אֶת עַצְמָהּ אִם שֶׁלָּהּ קָדְמוּ קִידּוּשֶׁיהָ קִידּוּשִׁין וְאִם שֶׁלִּשְׁלוּחָהּ קָדַם קִידּוּשָׁיו קִידּוּשִׁין וְאִם אֵינוֹ יָדוּעַ שְׁנֵיהֶן נוֹתְנִין גֵּט וְאִם רָצוּ אֶחָד נוֹתֵן גֵּט וְאֶחָד כּוֹנֵס.
MISHNAH: If somebody empowered his agent to contract preliminary marriage for his daughter and then went himself and contracted for her, ifhe was first, his preliminary marriage is valid, but if his agent was first, that preliminary marriage is valid. If precedence cannot be established, both give a bill of divorce or, if they agree, one gives a bill of divorce and one marries definitively. Similarly, if a woman empowered her agent to contract preliminary marriage for her and then went and contracted for herself, if she was first, her preliminary marriage is valid, but if her agent’s was first, that preliminary marriage is valid. If precedence cannot be established, both give a bill of divorce or, if they agree, one gives a bill of divorce and one marries definitively.
