טֶקֶס גֵּרוּשִׁין הַנֶּעֱרָךְ בְּמִקְרִים בָּהֶם לֹא בָּרוּר אִם נֶעֶרְכוּ קִדּוּשִׁין תְּקֵפִים. גֵּט שֶׁנִּתַּן בְּמִקְרֶה סָפֵק אִם הָיוּ נִשּׂוּאִים תְּקֵפִים, אִם לָאו.

("מִיהוּ גֵּט צְרִיכָה לְפִי שֶׁאֵין כָּאן טָעוּת וַדַּאי הִלְכָּךְ גַּבִּי מִמּוֹנָא לְקֻלָּא וְגַבִּי גֵּט לְחוּמְרָא"- חִדּוּשֵׁי הָרַשְׁבָּ"א מַסֶּכֶת יְבָמוֹת סה ע"א)
