Commentary for Avodah Zarah 73:8
ותיבעי לך אמתני' דתנן הרי זה גיטך מעכשיו אם לא באתי מכאן עד שנים עשר חודש ומת בתוך שנים עשר חודש הוי גט דהא איקיים ליה תנאי
Let him ask this question also in connection with the Mishnah as it is taught: [But if the husband said,] “Behold this is your bill of divorce from now onward should I not return within twelve months,” and he died within the twelve months, the divorce is valid because the condition had been fulfilled.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
The same question about whether the divorce takes effect immediately could also be asked about the continuation of the mishnah. In this case, all sages agree that she the bill of divorce is valid because the husband explicitly stated, “from now onward.” They only disagreed about a case where he might have been understood as saying that the divorce would be valid only when he did not return.
