<big><strong>גמ׳</strong></big> הא גופא קשיא אמרת רגל אחד יקיים הא שנים יוציא ויתן כתובה אימא סיפא שלשה יוציא ויתן כתובה הא שנים יקיים

GEMARA. This source is self-contradictory: You said “he may keep [her as his wife if the prohibition was for] one festival,” which implies that if it was for two festivals he must divorce her and give her her ketubah. But read the concluding clause, “[if for] three festivals he must divorce her and give her her ketubah, which implies that if it was for two only he may keep [her as his wife]?
