Commentary for Ketubot 220:15
היא אומרת לצאת והוא אומר שלא לצאת כופין אותה שלא לצאת ואם לאו תצא בלא כתובה הוא אומר לצאת והיא אומרת שלא לצאת כופין אותו שלא לצאת ואם לאו יוציא ויתן כתובה:
If he married a woman…. The mishnah itself is self-contradictory. It teaches, “If he married a woman in Israel and divorced her in Cappadocia, he must pay her with Israeli coins.” Therefore we follow the place in which the debt was incurred. But at the end [of the mishnah] it says, “If he married her in Cappadocia and divorced her in Israel, he must pay her with Israeli coins.” Therefore we follow the place in which collection takes place.
Tosafot on Ketubot
He says to go up [to the Land of Israel], etc.: It is not practiced in our times, as there is danger on the roads. And Rabbenu Chaim says that today, it is not a commandment to live in the Land of Israel, as there are several commandments that are dependent upon the land - and several punishments - that we are not able to be careful about and to be cognizant of.
