Joseph: you weren’t present in the room to hear precisely what Rav Steinman said. In any case, ?? ??? ?? ???? ??. Each case needs its own evaluation. Every case has to be examined individually. It’s impossible to extrapolate from one couple’s situation to another. Let’s say a Sanhedrin executed someone for chilul Shabbos . Does that mean if another case of chilul Shabbos arose a few weeks later, aside from the matter of ??? ??? ??????, theoretically could the second court simply say, well, a few weeks ago the dayanim paskened skilah, so this second guy also should get skilah. That would be foolish wickedness, that no Sanhedrin would ever contemplate. Matters of divorce are no less “dinei nefashos.”
