a)The whole premise of the thread is that the 'he's crazy so she doesn't need a get' p'sak was a mistake that will hurt yidishkeit if allowed to stand unchallenged.b)I understand it was she who dragged her (1st) husband through the mud by demonstrating in public. d)When someone lives outside the rules of halacha it is a private thing, but when she publicly claims it is within halacha, a public discussion is appropriate.
Not to start this argument here, could be the the start of the thread was for good purposes but it ended up just bashing rabbonim
I still argue that a husband's responsibility in the kesuvah is to pleasure her... the second he becomes a prick or abusive or cheats, he doesnt pleasure her so, therefor, she should be allowed to demand a get
So tempted to answer, but I won't... because nobody deserves what the response would be.
I'd love to know what you would do if you were in her shoes.
Remarry any one jewish or not, the system failed if it cant free an agunah.. i'd say "to hell with it"
Really?
If you want to discuss the Tamar Epstein saga, please do so on its thread. DON'T clutter up another perfectly good thread. I for one don't know, and don't care at all, about it, so please keep this thread relevant and interesting.
Going through it, it literally seems like no one really knows anything about it. Just arguing based on personal convictions. Kind of like the rechnitz speech.
FYI, there are very little arguments in that thread.
Know anything about what? - You can post your answer there. But don't try to sow misinformation as if there are really mitigating circumstances that noone knows about.FYI, there are very little arguments in that thread. It's not like there are two legitimate sides to this coin.
When and where did I imply I know any facts or "ins and outs"?
... I'd bet my last dollar that if she was your sister or daughter (G-d forbid), you wouldn't be telling her "oh, sucks for you – Halacha is halacha so spend the rest of your life alone as an agunah."
