Yosef Karo,  Shulchan Aruch — Even HaEzer27

“ And we require asking a sage if a certain person is not considered important so as to permit her to remarry without a get. Rema: And there are those who are stringent, even where she did not say originally when she gave it: “I will be betrothed to you,” rather, she gave it without any statement and he said to her, “Be betrothed to me, etc.” ”
