Abstract :W e find recorded in the tannaitic literature two documents in relation to marriage,  Shetar Kiddushin   שטר קדושין  and  Ketubah   כתובה . Neither of these documents is mentioned in the Bible. A Mishna in the tractate Kid. states that a woman may be acquiredin one of three ways, either by Kesef, or by Shetar, or by Bi’ah. Some scholars are of the opinion that the Ketubah  is identical with  Shetar Kiddushin  mentioned in the Mishna, and therefore they believe that the  Ketubah  is the oldest form of a marriage contract .  This point of view is not borne out by tannaitic literature, and I believe that the contrary is the case. The  Ketubah  and the  Shetar   שטר  are not one and the same thing. The  Shetar  is a much older document than the  Ketubah.  The Mishna employs merely the term  Shetar.  If the  Shetar  and the  Ketubah  were iden- tical, why then did not the Mishna use the term  Ketubah  or Shetar Ketubah ? In the entire tannaitic literature we do not find  Shetar  referring to  Ketubah
