Halakhah su Deuteronomio 24:1

The marriage bond, in particular, must remain inviolate if legitimacy of birth is to be preserved and the continued manifestation of the Divine Presence to be assured. A marriage can be terminated only by death or by means of a get, a properly executed bill of divorce. This realm of Halakhah is singled out for the most stringent safeguards. Lest the ignorant wreak untold havoc, the Sages admonish that one who is not proficient in the laws of marriage and divorce should have no traffic with the performance of marriage or, most emphatically, with the execution of a bill of divorce. The bill of divorce must be drawn up by the husband, or his proxy, and delivered to the wife (Deut. 24:1). Jewish law is quite specific with regard to the formula to be employed in this instrument and with regard to its mode of execution. A woman who remarries without benefit of a get (religious divorce) is guilty of adultery. Children born of such a union bear the stigma of bastardy,

These authorities explain that Halachah views a woman who marries as moving to a new community — her husband’s home. Rav Moshe cites a number of biblical verses that demonstrate that the Torah views marriage as a woman moving into her husband’s home. For example, the Torah (Devarim 24:1), in describing the procedure for a divorce, states that the husband “shall send her from his home.” We see that the Torah considers a wife to be in her husband’s domain during the marriage. Accordingly, the wife must accept the customs of her husband’s family. Rav Ovadia and Rav Felder also cite the Tashbeitz as a precedent for their ruling.

The textual locus of the primary objection—and ostensibly of the proposal itself—is the statement of the Gemara, Gittin 19a, presented in the context of procedures to be employed in drafting of a bill of divorce: "Witnesses who do not know how to sign, we tear a blank paper on their behalf and they fill the torn spaces with ink." Deuteronomy 24:1 provides that a husband desirous of divorcing his wife must "write her a bill of divorcement." The Gemara, Gittin 19a, cites a beraita containing two opinions with regard to the procedure to be followed in situations in which the witnesses do not know how to affix their signatures. One opinion rules that a non-durable substance should be employed to outline the letters of their signatures. The witnesses, using those letters as guidelines, should write their names over that substance with ink. The second opinion maintains that "we tear a blank piece of paper on their behalf and they fill in the torn spaces with ink."
