04 Ketubot 2/1-4

(1) A woman, who became widowed or divorced, [and] says, "You married me [when I was] a virgin," and [the husband] says, "No, rather, [when you were] a widow when I married you." If there are witnesses to prove that she went out [to be married] in a henuma [a carriage traditionally used to carry a virgin bride in a procession], and with her hair loosened, her ketubah [monetary settlement payable to a woman upon divorce or the death of her husband] is two hundred dinar [specific unit of money]. Rabbi Yochanan ben Beroka says, "The distribution of parched corn is also evidence [in her favor]."

(2) Rabbi Yehoshua agrees that if one says to his fellow, "This field belonged to your father, and I bought it from him," he is believed [and the field belongs to him], because the [same] mouth that prohibited [it to him by admitting that the field once belonged to someone else also] permitted [it]. But if there are witnesses that [the field] belonged to the father, and he [the present holder] says, "I bought it from him," he is not believed.

(3) Witnesses who state, "This [signature] is [in] our handwriting; but, we were forced," or "we were minors," or "we were legally disqualified witnesses," they are believed. But if there are [other] witnesses [who testify] that it is their handwriting, or if [proof that it is] their handwriting comes out of another source, they are not believed.

(4) If this one says, "This is my handwriting, and this is the handwriting of my fellow;" and the other one [also] says, "This is my handwriting, and that is the handwriting of my fellow," they are believed. [However,] if this one [merely] says, "This is my handwriting," and the other one [also merely] says, "This is my handwriting" they need to join another [witness] to them. These are the words of Rabbi [Yehuda HaNasi]. And the Sages say, "They do not need to join another [witness] to them; rather, a man is believed to say, "This is my handwriting."
