Although the Torah normally requires two male witnesses in order to confirm a fact through testimony, the Rabanan allowed a woman to remarry based on the testimony of even a single witness who testifies that her husband has died, even if the witness is a woman or a slave.

32)[line 32]"... נדדו הלכו""… NADEDU HALACHU"- "... both the birds of the heavens and the beasts have fled; they are gone" (Yirmeyahu 9:9) - This verse shows that even the animals, birds, and fish went into exile along with Bnei Yisrael.
