If a minor girl's father commissioned an agent to find a husband for her and accept the betrothal money, and the father himself then went and betrothed her to someone, then if the father's betrothal occurred first, it is valid. If the agent's betrothal occurred first, then it is the one that is valid.If it is unknown whose betrothal occurred first, she can only marry another man if both give her a Get. And if they want, one can give her a Get, and the other can marry her.
