(ג) רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בֶּן יַעֲקֹב אוֹמֵר, כָּל עַכָּבָה שֶׁהִיא מִן הָאִישׁ, כְּאִלּוּ הִיא אִשְׁתּוֹ. וְכָל עַכָּבָה שֶׁאֵינָהּ מִן הָאִישׁ, כְּאִלּוּ אֵינָהּ אִשְׁתּוֹ:
(ד) הַמְמָאֶנֶת בָּאִישׁ, הוּא מֻתָּר בִּקְרוֹבוֹתֶיהָ, וְהִיא מֻתֶּרֶת בִּקְרוֹבָיו, וְלֹא פְסָלָהּ מִן הַכְּהֻנָּה. נָתַן לָהּ גֵּט, הוּא אָסוּר בִּקְרוֹבוֹתֶיהָ, וְהִיא אֲסוּרָה בִקְרוֹבָיו, וּפְסָלָהּ מִן הַכְּהֻנָּה. נָתַן לָהּ גֵּט וְהֶחֱזִירָהּ, מֵאֲנָה בוֹ וְנִשֵּׂאת לְאַחֵר וְנִתְאַרְמְלָה אוֹ נִתְגָּרְשָׁה, מֻתֶּרֶת לַחֲזֹר לוֹ. מֵאֲנָה בוֹ וְהֶחֱזִירָהּ, נָתַן לָהּ גֵּט וְנִשֵּׂאת לְאַחֵר וְנִתְאַרְמְלָה אוֹ נִתְגָּרְשָׁה, אֲסוּרָה לַחֲזֹר לוֹ. זֶה הַכְּלָל, גֵּט אַחַר מֵאוּן, אֲסוּרָה לַחֲזֹר לוֹ. מֵאוּן אַחַר גֵּט, מֻתֶּרֶת לַחֲזֹר לוֹ:
(3) Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov says: [If] an impediment is due to the man it is as if she is his wife; [if] an impediment is not due to the man it is as if she is not his wife.
(4) [If] a girl refuses a man he is permitted [to marry] her relatives and she [is permitted] to marry his relatives, and she is not disqualified from [marrying] into the priesthood. [If] he gave her a bill of divorce he is forbidden [from marrying] her relatives and she is forbidden [from marrying] his relatives and she is disqualified [from marrying] into the priesthood. [If] he gave her a bill of divorce and [subsequently] took her back, and she refused him and married somebody else, and [then] was widowed or divorced [from the second man] she is permitted to return to him. [If] she refused him and he took her back and then he gave her a bill of divorce and she married somebody else, and [then] was widowed or divorced [from the second man], she is forbidden to return to him. This is the principle: [If there is] a bill of divorce after refusal - she is forbidden to return to him; [if there is] refusal after a bill of divorce - she is permitted to return to him.
