Pretty sad..http://nypost.com/2013/11/04/orthodox-jewish-womans-plea-for-a-divorce/
t’s been an uphill battle trying to appeal to his family — this almost untouchable, powerful rabbinic family. Many rabbis have called on his grandfather, Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, who heads the Yeshiva of Staten Island, to influence his grandson to give a get, but he staunchly supports Avrohom. Prominent rabbis have even called for the dismissal of his father, Yosaif Asher Weiss, as editor for the major Jewish publisher ArtScroll. Ironically, [Avrohom’s] great-grandfather Moshe Feinstein was a major champion of agunot, and convinced many husbands to give their wives a get in his day. Now Avrohom is one of those insubordinate husbands.
Also this: He’s not interested in going to a bet din, or rabbinic court, to resolve these matters, and has ignored a siruv (a contempt-of-court ruling issued by a rabbinic court) after failing to heed repeated summonses by Beis Din of Mechon L’Hoyroa, a reputable rabbinic court in Monsey, N.Y. He continues to ignore the siruv even after several of the most prominent rabbis in the country urged him in writing to go to a rabbinic court.
Crazy.There always is another side to the story, not that I am leaning in any way that this bastard of a guy is right.What supprises me most is ETA:From - http://www.thejewishweek.com/features/all-she-wrote/case-dueling-dynasties-hits-homeHe should be in חרם how is it that Rabbi Reuven Feinstein is siding with him?
Lets just say that not everyone sees the story the way she is saying it..... There are rabbonim on both sides.
That could be true.I just can't see any justification for a guy leaving a lady as an aguna.
That may be his only bargaining chip
NO!!! A GET IS NEVER A BARGAINING CHIP! WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!
NO!!! A GET IS NEVER A BARGAINING CHIP!
Only civil courts and messira are allowed to be bargaining chiPS?As usual in these cases there is likely more than meets the eye. Considering that there are prominent rabbonim on both sides I would say that it is inappropriate for all of you to be speaking so strongly based upon a post article of all things. How more one sided can you get?
im not speaking abt the article at all

I'm in agreement, but w/o know their history and parenting skills, I've gotta say that if I could only see my children twice a week or so, I'd be mighty depressed. Especially if I hadn't done a/t to 'deserve' this.But again, a get isn't the proper place to fix this issue.
