What is the key halachic difference between a delayed get ('takes effect in 30 days') and a conditional get?
Halacha 5 explains that with a conditional get, the divorce is already a fact and only needs the condition to be fulfilled; with a delayed get, the get must be in the woman's possession when the time arrives.
Question 2
A husband gives a get on condition that he not return within 30 days. He attempts to return on day 20 but is blocked by a flooded river. What is the halachic ruling?
Halacha 8 rules that forces beyond one's control are not accepted with regard to gittin, lest modest women never remarry.
Question 3
A husband says: 'This is your get. If I die, it is effective from the present time — after my death.' What is the status of the divorce when he dies?
Halacha 14 rules that the divorce is in doubt (safek), because after saying 'from the present time,' he may have changed his mind by adding 'after my death.'
Question 4
A mortally ill man divorces his wife and then makes a full recovery. Can he retract the divorce?
Halacha 16 rules that a divorce performed by a terminally ill person stands even after his recovery.
Question 5
A husband tells an agent: 'Take this article from my wife and give her this get.' The agent gives the wife the get first, and only then receives the article. What is the ruling?
Halacha 36 rules that the divorce is not effective when the agent gives the get before receiving the article, because the husband's instruction implied 'take the article first, then give the get.'
