תלמוד על יבמות 6:4

MISHNAH: If it became public knowledge in town that she was preliminarily married, she is preliminarily married¹⁶⁷If she had been unmarried, she cannot marry another man without receiving a divorce from the one to whom she is betrothed in the eyes of the public.; divorced, she is divorced¹⁶⁸And could not marry a Cohen even if previously unmarried., except if there was an excuse. What would be an excuse? Mr. X divorced his wife conditionally¹⁶⁹And the condition was not satisfied., or he threw valuables for preliminary marriage to her and it was doubtful whether it was closer to her than to him¹⁷⁰A doubt whether a doubtful marriage was concluded has to be dismissed as irrelevant.; that is an excuse.
