The wife encloses the Get in her hand, raises it upward with both her hands, then places it in her pocket or pocketbook, paces up and down with it, and then returns it to the officiating rabbi. The rabbi reads the Get aloud and warns all present that nobody may now challenge the Get. The rabbi then informs the wife that she may marry again after ninety-two days but that she may not marry a kohen. The rabbi then rips the Get in two places and files it with the Bet Din. In lieu of the Get, the wife receives a Get certificate, which is signed by the rabbi and the witnesses and testifies to the fact that she received a valid divorce.
