אֵין כּוֹתְבִין שְׁטָרֵי אֵרוּסִין וְנִשּׂוּאִין אֶלָּא מִדַּעַת שְׁנֵיהֶם, וְהֶחָתָן נוֹתֵן שָׂכָר. אֵין כּוֹתְבִין שְׁטָרֵי אֲרִיסוּת וְקַבְּלָנוּת אֶלָּא מִדַּעַת שְׁנֵיהֶם, וְהַמְקַבֵּל נוֹתֵן שָׂכָר. אֵין כּוֹתְבִין שְׁטָרֵי בֵרוּרִין וְכָל מַעֲשֵׂה בֵית דִּין אֶלָּא מִדַּעַת שְׁנֵיהֶם, וּשְׁנֵיהֶם נוֹתְנִין שָׂכָר. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, שְׁנֵיהֶם כּוֹתְבִין שְׁנַיִם, לָזֶה לְעַצְמוֹ וְלָזֶה לְעַצְמוֹ:

Writs of betrothal and marriage are written only with mutual consent, and the groom pays the fee. Writs of tenant-farming, [working and guarding a field for a half, a third, or a quarter (of the produce)] and land contracting, [so many and so many kor a year, whether it did or did not produce] are written only with mutual consent, and the receiver pays the fee. Writs of selection and (of) all acts of beth-din are written only with mutual consent. [("writs of selection":) One (of the litigants) selects one judge, and the other selects one, and they write: "This (litigant) selected this judge, and his claims are such and such, etc.," so that they not repeat their claims.] And both pay the fee. R. Shimon b. Gamliel says: The two [litigants] write two, each (writing one) for himself, [so that their claims be well ordered. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon b. Gamliel, but the claims of the two litigants and the judge that each selected are written in one bill.]
