Wenn man seiner Frau ein Get gibt und sie in ihrem Haus oder in ihrem Hof ist, ist sie geschieden, [es steht geschrieben (5. Mose 24: 1): "Und er soll es in ihre Hand legen." Da nicht geschrieben steht: "Und in ihre Hand soll er es legen", lautet die Implikation: "Und er soll legen"—überall, ob in ihrem Hof, in ihrem Garten oder in ihrem Gehege. Dies unter der Bedingung, dass sie neben ihrem Haus oder ihrem Hof steht.] Wenn er es ihr in seinem Haus oder in seinem Hof zuwarf—Selbst wenn es mit ihr im Bett wäre, ist sie nicht geschieden. (Wenn er es warf) in ihren Schoß oder in ihre Nähkiste, ist sie geschieden, [selbst wenn sie in seinem Haus war. Denn der Raum ihres Schoßes und ihrer Nähkiste erwirbt (Gegenstände) für sie. Denn ein Mann (ihr Ehemann) gönnt ihr (zum Zwecke des Erwerbs) weder den Platz ihres Schoßes noch ihres Nähkastens.]
Bartenura on Mishnah Gittin
הזורק. הרי זו מגורשת – As it is written (Deuteronomy 24:1): “…[and he writes her a bill of divorcement], hands it to her...,” and since it is not written, “and in her hand he should give it,” implying nevertheless, “and he gives,” whether in her court or in her garden or in her enclosure. And [it means] that she is standing at the side of her house or at the side of her courtyard.

English Explanation of Mishnah Gittin
Introduction
The first three mishnayoth of this chapter discuss a husband who throws his get to his wife. While a woman need not consent to being divorced, the husband must deliver the get into her possession and make her aware of the fact that she is being divorced. These mishnayoth define what it takes to fulfill these two requirements.

English Explanation of Mishnah Gittin
If a husband throws a get to his wife, and she is in her house or in her courtyard, she is divorced. The Torah states that the husband “puts the get in her hand” (Deuteronomy 24:1). The rabbis expand this requirement and allow the husband to put the get into any place which is in her possession.

English Explanation of Mishnah Gittin
If he throws it to her in his house or in his courtyard, even though it is with her on the same bed, she is not divorced. In this case, she is on his property and hence he cannot just throw the get at her. This is true even if the husband puts the get into her bed, if the bed belongs to the husband, she is not divorced.

English Explanation of Mishnah Gittin
If he throws it into her lap or into her basket, she is divorced. If he puts the get into her lap or into her basket she is divorced. This is true even if she is standing on his property. Since her lap and basket belong to her, it is sufficient if he delivers the get to one of these places.
