Question about Israeli (Orthodox Jewish) divorce law?

Author: Divorce Dr  //  Category: Divorce

I recently saw documentry in women can not divorce because her husband will not allow http://www. Channel4. com / fourdocs / archive / Manhunter. htmlE “really true that under Jewish law, even if a man leaves his wife remarried for 20yrs.. if you do not give his wife permission, she can not divorce him even though he broke the marriage contract? And “this right through Israel or only for the Orthodox?” What the Israeli men who hold women hostage like that? “What the” pressure “can lead the Israeli government to force her husband to divorce ?

    I’ve talked to many women here in Israel about the divorce, and if I understand correctly, the husband may divorce his wife without her consent. I agree, however, that religious laws governing divorce in Israel are terribly stupid.

    You are not entitled to it, and yes, it sucks (he spent three years as Misarevet Gat, a woman whose ex-official, do not get a divorce). But in both cases a woman may refuse to divorce her husband. In Israel, the rabbis control of family law – only you can make a marriage officer and only they can make an official divorce. But a man can not marry more than one woman to remarry, should give a gat to his first wife. But I know a woman who waited 20 years for GAT, and her husband moved to Australia and live with a woman, so it is almost the same. What happens is this: a couple will see the rabbi and asks for a divorce. The rabbi asks each if they agree. If he refuses, the other offers “Shalom Bayit” (Quiet Interior). This means that living together as husband and wife for a month, and having sex during that time. If the person still wants a divorce after that time, the rabbi who was granted. However, for women who want a divorce, Shalom Bayit is like “rape sactioned” to often reject it. For others, wants to leave an abusive relationship and that this option could be dangerous, even fatal. So I prefer to have another appointment with the rabbi, in a few months and try again. Out of the rabbis, it is possible to obtain a civil divorce settlement, which is not official, but the food and care, etc.. Thus, for some women, waiting for the official divorce is a big deal because all the important details are resolved. And if you do not give and he wants to remarry, there are ways to do so. If you do not pay child support, can be jailed. And sometimes, if you provide a gat in special circumstances, may be incarcerated. pulled once a month and asked again if she gives the cat. It is not pleasant, but it happened in some cases. However, this is the law for all Israel. So now some couples have a secular wedding without a rabbi, and never marry officiallly simply do not want the rabbis of interfere in their lives. Some couples into the trap Shalom, and works for them. The government can not avoid it. However. There are people who are trying to legalize civil marriage, which would also mean a civil divorce, but it is a long way. The religious minority govt uses his power with care, selling their votes to the other, with conditions that they get their bills passed. In El Al can not fly on Shabbat, which costs the company and the country lost billions of suit, so do antichi.Vi divorce laws is a website that explains the problems this can cause women can not afford to keep their children and if you can not receive child support in divorce . You see, you open a divorce case or the civil courts or rabinut (rabbinical court), usually is “a race between the pair: the woman wants the civil settlement, the man wants the rabbis of the truth. If the man wins and through the rabbis, we can say that there will be no child support until there is a gat. On the other hand, there are ways to do so. . . if the woman makes the first case before the civil courts, can claim maintenance for themselves (not child support), which is rare in Israel, and until she pays the cat. Moreover, the laws are very much against parents – no custody, as Americans know it. Parents usually every weekend and one afternoon a week, alternating holidays. And if there is any problem at all, although there is no reason the father almost always gets the short stick, even lose custody entirely, although the law to pay child support.
