What conditions must be specified when testifying to a marriage contract?

Primary text
The conditions of the marriage contract must be explicitly mentioned when testifying to it. This is obligatory because people differ regarding its specific conditions; failing to mention them allows a witness to believe a marriage is valid when it is, in fact, invalid.

There are differing opinions regarding whether conditions must be specified when testifying to other contracts, such as sale or lease. One view mandates specification, arguing it is necessary due to differing stipulations, similar to marriage. The second view holds that specifying conditions is unnecessary because it is not required when filing a lawsuit based on such a contract.
