Комментарий к Кидушин 2:4
הָאוֹמֵר לִשְׁלוּחוֹ, צֵא וְקַדֵּשׁ לִי אִשָּׁה פְלוֹנִית בְּמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וְהָלַךְ וְקִדְּשָׁהּ בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, אֵינָהּ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת. הֲרֵי הִיא בְמָקוֹם פְּלוֹנִי, וְקִדְּשָׁהּ בְּמָקוֹם אַחֵר, הֲרֵי זוֹ מְקֻדֶּשֶׁת:
Если кто-то сказал своему посланнику: «Иди и обручи меня и эту женщину для меня в этом и в этом месте», и он пошел и обручил ее в другом месте, она не была обручена. (Если он сказал ему :) «Она в этом и в этом месте», и он обручил ее в другом месте, она обручена. [Потому что он просто указывал на место и не делал его условием (обручения).]
Bartenura on Mishnah Kiddushin

English Explanation of Mishnah Kiddushin
If he says to his agent, “Go out and betroth to me so-and-so in such and such a place,” and he goes and betroths her elsewhere, she is not betrothed.
“She is in such and such a place,” and he betroths her elsewhere, she is betrothed.
The mishnah now returns to discuss betrothal performed by a person’s agent. Today’s mishnah is nearly identical to Gittin 6:3.
In both sections, a husband appoints an agent to betroth his wife and gives the agent instructions as to where to betroth the woman. If the husband tells the agent to betroth the woman in a certain place, she is not betrothed if the agent betroths her in another place. In such a case we can assume that the husband wanted the betrothal to be performed in that specific place.
However, if the husband merely tells the agent where to find the woman, the husband does not necessarily care if she is really somewhere else. He was only helping the agent locate her. Therefore the betrothal is valid no matter where the agent eventually finds her.
