Moses Alvares ruled that if the husband, before the wife received the divorce letter, communicated the revocation to the wife or the messenger, or sent a separate messenger, he would not need witnesses; otherwise, two witnesses would be necessary. [As this creates a state of uncertainty for the wife, during which she does not know if the divorce letter has been revoked, in today's proceedings before the Beth Din, the husband's declaration that he forever renounces the right to revoke is accepted.] Link to Dicta <a href="https://peh.dicta.org.il/book/prietshaim/prietshaim-402">https://peh.dicta.org.il/book/prietshaim/prietshaim-402</a> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
