https://m.jpost.com/Israel-News/Chief-Rabbi-prevents-10-year-divorce-refuser-from-burying-his-mother-599166/amp

I am torn about this. While I am happy that this forced the outcome that it did - is it fair to hold his dead mother (and siblings) responsible for his actions?

Doing the right thing can only do good to his mother's נשמה.

I was initially impressed based on the headline, but looking into the details it looks like they allowed the burial based on bond posted with the Beis Din. I don't understand why they couldn't insist on the actual get.

Quote
Since the husband is currently in Israel and his wife is in the US, he has pledged to attend a hearing of the US rabbinical court and obey its ruling, and has deposited a monetary guarantee to ensure that he complies with his commitment.

If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Question was if it's the right thing to do. Would you say they can stop anyone's kevurah?

Friend of mine just did this. Anyone who didn't have email (apparently there was one or two) got a paper printed from their computer in an envelope.
I'm not who you think I am.

My response was regarding the Get Me'use issue. As I pointed above, this could actually be a נחת רוח and כבוד הנפטרת.

Though I will give one caveat, that everything might seem one sided from here, there might be another side to the story which we are unfamiliar with at this point. She might have been blackmailing him. But the bottom line is that if an acceptable Beis Din ruled that he has to give a Get, then they need to be able to enforce it somehow. Tying up your wife for 10 years, while marrying someone else doesn't do any good.

Exactly. This wasn't for her kavod, even though it's appropriate for him to give a get.

Can one of the options be it's not her kavod and the Rabbinate is causing ביזוי המת?

do you think there is a large percentage of people who don't give checks because there is no return envelope?
Is that percentage the cost of the invitations?
just curious

Why?

I can give you several reasons, but the primary one would probably be that a Beis Din has to be given authority and not be second-guessed.

Did she pass away in EY?
