One prominent Rov claims that all Gittin in New York State from I believe 1992 must be checked because then a Get Law came into effect that can force the husband to give a GET. Others claim that in New Jersey and other areas there are also judicial coercions such as one judge who threatened a husband with jail if he did not give the GET. This was overturned, but the judges have learned how to coerce a GET by telling the husband that if he does not give a GET he behaves in a manner that can affect the children and therefore he can lose custody. So the GET is invalid.Dovid Eidensohnhttp://torahtimes.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-72752211241521362452014-03-10T19:39:57.946+02:002014-03-10T19:39:57.946+02:00The horror of the Epstein affair cannot be repeate...The horror of the Epstein affair cannot be repeated enough times. The psak of the so-called beis din went against an individual who never existed!!! What type of beis din is that? Where is the beautiful concept that is called Din Torah? What a Chilul Hashem. Many newspapers carried the story of David Hellman's plea. Click on them and read the comments that were made by their secular readers. The common theme throughout is that rather than being an aberration, it is business as usual among the Orthodox re how women are treated, necessitating the emergence of Epstein-like tactics. Epstein is not a champion of women. He destroys whoever is on the other side. For years, Epstein and his co-horts rendered piskei din against real people who never had the opportunity to appear before their kangaroo court. The entire process was a money making operation and now klal yisroel is left with the mess. observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-66834175668650749942014-03-10T19:04:01.207+02:002014-03-10T19:04:01.207+02:00is only marbeh psulim beyisroel, and that causes r...is only marbeh psulim beyisroel, and that causes real headaches.
