Gittin 63 - Divorce through a messenger

The husband can appoint another man as an agent to deliver a Get to his wife, and the wife can appoint another woman as an agent to accept a Get – because they appoint others like them to do what they are empowered to do.

Moreover, the husband can appoint a woman for the delivery of a Get, and the wife can appoint a man for the receipt. Since they can be a party to divorce, they can also act as agents in any capacity.
