re: #162 sagehen
Not sure what the jury will say when the wives all testify that they desperately wanted out of their marriage, that they had already obtained civil divorces but the husbands were refusing the get or demanding large sums from the women’s parents…
Like I said, I don’t know anything about Jewish divorce customs, But I do wonder if this might have something to do with the animosity between Liberal Jews and Orthodox (Haraddi?) Jews?
