Just
read in the paper that a Brooklyn rabbi went to great lengths to help women get
divorces.
Orthodox Jews require a husband’s permission in order to get a
divorce, and some husbands wouldn’t give it; so the rabbi arranged (for a hefty
fee) to have the husbands kidnapped and tortured until they’d agree to the
divorce.
Not sure how torturing people makes more religious sense than just letting
people get divorced. Maybe someone should look at trying to change the system.
