Quoting%20commentary for Yevamot 5:2

כֵּיצַד. עָשָׂה מַאֲמָר בִּיבִמְתּוֹ, וְנָתַן לָהּ גֵּט, צְרִיכָה הֵימֶנּוּ חֲלִיצָה. עָשָׂה מַאֲמָר וַחֲלִיצָה, צְרִיכָה הֵימֶנּוּ גֵט. עָשָׂה מַאֲמָר וּבָעַל, הֲרֵי זוֹ כְמִצְוָתָהּ:

How? [This does not refer to the previous dispute, but is an independent statement referring to one yavam and one yevamah, viz.: How (i.e., What) is the halachah in the instance of one yavam and one yevamah? If he made a ma'amar in his yevamah and gave her a get, she requires chalitzah from him. And if he wishes to wed her, he may not do so; for since he began to divorce her, "who would not build his brother's house" obtains.] If he made a ma'amar and chalitzah, she requires a get from him. [For chalitzah dissolves the (yibum) linkage, and the get is required to dissolve her betrothal, chalitzah not dissolving betrothal.] If he made a ma'amar and cohabited with her, this is in keeping with the mitzvah.
