Objections to רבי אליעזר's גט that excludes one man, the meaning of כריתות, and conditions or time limits in a גט.

Overview

This amud continues the debate over רבי אליעזר's view that a גט permitting a woman to everyone except one man is valid. First the גמרא shows that one of רבי עקיבא's objections fits only a חוץ case. It then explains that he attacked both חוץ and על מנת because he had heard both versions of the ruling. Next it explains רבא's refutation of the second objection, which follows רבי ינאי's elder and his different source for the rule. רבי יהושע says not to refute 'the lion' after his death, even though he has his own objection: the second marriage must be like the first, with her tied to no one. The גמרא then studies a ברייתא where רבי שמעון בר אלעזר asks where one person forbids and another permits, and it answers challenges from יבמה, נדרים and הפרת הבעל. רבי אלעזר בן עזריה argues from the word כריתות that a גט must fully cut the bond, and רבא rules on a condition not to drink wine, which fails only if it is tied to the wife's own life. Finally רבא asks about a divorce for one day only and begins to answer his own question.
