Three
Gittin are invalid, but if she married on their basis anyway, the child
she has from the second marriage is legitimate: a Get that the husband
wrote in his own handwriting but there are no witnesses signed on it; a
Get that has no date recorded on it; a Get that has has only one
witness signed on it.
Rabbi Elazar says, “Even though there are
no witnesses signed on the Get, but he gave it to her in the presence
of witnesses, it is valid, for witnesses sign on the Get only for the
benefit of society.”
