Mishnah Ketubbot

10. There are three lands with regard to marriage: Judaea, Transjordan, and the Galilee.

We do not require [a spouse to move] from a village to a village or from a town to a town. But within the same land, we require [a spouse to move] from a village to a village and from a town to a town, but not from a village to a town or from a town to a village. We require [a spouse to move] from a bad location to a good location but not from a good location to a bad location. Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel says, not even from a bad location to a good location, because [the change to a] good location is trying.

If he married a woman in Cappadocia and divorced her in the land of Israel, he gives her the currency of the land of Israel. Rabban Simeon ben Gamaliel says: The currency of Cappadocia.

If he married a woman in Cappadocia and divorced her in Cappadocia, he gives her the currency of Cappadocia.
