כל גט שנכתב שלא לשום אשה פסול. כיצד. היה עובר בשוק ושמע קול סופרים מקרין. איש פלוני מגרש את פלונית ממקום פלוני. ואמר זה שמי וזה שם אשתי. פסול לגרש בו. יתר מכן כתב לגרש בו את אשתו ונמלך. מצאו בן עירו ואמר לו שמי כשמך. ושם אשתי כשם אשתך. פסול לגרש בו. יתר מכן היו לו שתי נשים ושמותיהן שוות. כתב לגרש בו את הגדולה. לא יגרש בו את הקטנה. יתר מכן אמר ללבלר כתוב לאיזו שארצה אגרש. פסול לגרש בו.
Any get which is not written [expressly] for the woman [for whom it is intended] is invalid. How is this so? If a man was passing through the street and heard the voice of a scribe dictating “So-and-so divorces so-and-so from such and such a place” and he says “that is my name and that is the name of my wife”, it is not a valid [document] with which to divorce his wife. Moreover: if he wrote [a get] with which to divorce his wife and changed his mind and a person found him and said to him, “My name is the same as yours and my wife’s name the same as your wife’s”, it is not a valid [document with which the second] may divorce his wife. Moreover: if he had two wives with the same name and wrote a get with which to divorce the elder, he may not use it to divorce the younger. Moreover: if he said to the scribe, “Write [a get] and I will divorce whichever I choose,” it is not a valid [document] with which to divorce his wife.
