“What about a case where the beis din recommends it? Would you support the husband in declaring, essentially, that he knows G-d’s will better than those rabbis?”
Avram: Time is a bit short and I hope to iy”H get to your other questions. But, directly, please respond this:
What about a case where a wife petitions beis din for a Get. The beis din initiates a trial, hears the wife’s demand for a divorce along with her reason for so requesting, followed by the husband’s response requesting the marriage be maintained and continued. The trial concludes, the dayanim deliberate the facts and relevant halachas and reach a verdict advising the couple that the request for a Get is denied as being unnecessary and the facts of the case not in line for a halachic requirement that a divorce be ordered.
Therefore, say the dayanim, the wife al pi Torah must forthwith move back into her husband’s home, as her having left it had been unjustified and constituted being a moredes, and she should be a good wife.
Would you support the wife in declaring, essentially, that she knows G-d’s will better than those rabbis? Or would you wholeheartedly advocate to the wife to return to her marriage?
