Talmud for Gittin 6:2

הָאִשָּׁה שֶׁאָמְרָה, הִתְקַבֵּל לִי גִטִּי, צְרִיכָה שְׁתֵּי כִתֵּי עֵדִים, שְׁנַיִם שֶׁאוֹמְרִים בְּפָנֵינוּ אָמְרָה וּשְׁנַיִם שֶׁאוֹמְרִים בְּפָנֵינוּ קִבֵּל וְקָרַע, אֲפִלּוּ הֵן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְהֵן הָאַחֲרוֹנִים, אוֹ אֶחָד מִן הָרִאשׁוֹנִים וְאֶחָד מִן הָאַחֲרוֹנִים וְאֶחָד מִצְטָרֵף עִמָּהֶן. נַעֲרָה הַמְאֹרָסָה, הִיא וְאָבִיהָ מְקַבְּלִין אֶת גִּטָּהּ. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוּדָה, אֵין שְׁתֵּי יָדַיִם זוֹכוֹת כְּאַחַת, אֶלָּא אָבִיהָ מְקַבֵּל אֶת גִּטָּהּ בִּלְבָד. וְכֹל שֶׁאֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לִשְׁמֹר אֶת גִּטָּהּ, אֵינָהּ יְכוֹלָה לְהִתְגָּרֵשׁ:

If a woman said: "Receive my get for me," she needs [to bring before us] two sets of witnesses: two who say: "Before us she told" [him to receive it], and two who say: "Before us he received it and he tore it." [This, in a time of shmad (enforced conversion), when (observance of) mitzvoth was decreed against, and they would tear the get immediately, so that it not be seen.] — even if they [those before whom she told him to receive it] were (both) the first and the last [those who saw him receive it], or one from the first set and one from the second and another joining them [i.e., complementing each one]. A betrothed maiden, she or her father receives her get. [She has a "hand," for she is of age, and her father, too, is authorized to receive it.] R. Yehudah said: Two "hands" cannot be invested as one. Rather, her father alone receives her get. And any woman who cannot guard her get cannot be divorced, [even if her father receives it, it being written (Deuteronomy 24:1): "And he shall send her from his house" — one who is sent and does not return; to exclude this one, who is sent and does return.]

Jerusalem Talmud Yevamot

Do they disagree with Rebbi Ḥananiah ben Antigonos? From what Rebbi Joḥanan said, which is the underage girl that needs a bill of divorce? Anyone who is given her bill of divorce together with something else and she produces it after some time45Since a bill of divorce is needed if the girl is able to take care of that bill (which she needs as proof that she is unmarried and can enter a second marriage) irrespective of her maturity when she was married first, it proves that the majority does not require more than that she was made aware that she was being married and reasonably could understand what that meant.. This implies that they disagree with Rebbi Ḥananiah ben Antigonos.
