הָאִישׁ שֶׁנּוֹלְדוּ בוֹ מוּמִין, אֵין כּוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ לְהוֹצִיא. אָמַר רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל, בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בַּמּוּמִין הַקְּטַנִּים. אֲבָל בַּמּוּמִין הַגְּדוֹלִים, כּוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ לְהוֹצִיא:
If a man became blemished [after marriage], we do not compel him to send her out. R. Shimon b. Gamliel said: When is this so? With small blemishes. But with large blemishes [e.g., if his eye were blinded or his hand were amputated, or his foot broken], he is forced to send her out. [The halachah is not in accordance with R. Shimon b. Gamliel, and even with large blemishes we do not compel him to send her out.]
