1,744. Borrowing a Spot in the Husband's Domain

Hilchos Geirushin 5:9

Let’s say that a man lends his wife a place in his courtyard without delineating its boundaries. If he tosses her the get and it lands within four cubits of where she’s standing (about six feet), then divorce is effected. If the get rolls away and lands on a beam or a rock farther away from her than this, then if the item on which the get landed is not four cubits by four cubits, nor ten handbreadths high, nor does it have its own designated place name, then it is not considered a separate domain and it’s like the woman and her get are in the same place. If the spot has any of these three characteristics (area, height or a special name), then it is considered a separate domain. Since the husband only lent the woman one spot in his courtyard, not two, divorce is not effected until the get reaches her hand.

Hilchos Geirushin 5:10

If he throws her the get and it passes through her domain, landing elsewhere, then divorce is not effected until it comes to rest in her domain. This is so even if the get came within three handbreadths of the ground (about nine inches).
