Kovetz Teshuvos vol. 1 #174. See also the teshuva I referred above from Rav Shternbuch. The rare cases where he can be forced require proof that the claim she makes is true. In any case, you’re overstating when it can be done. Read those two teshuvos as well as the Rishonim and Achronim and especially Shulchan Aruch and Rema that Rav Elyashev and Rav Shternbuch refer to in their teshuvos. Read Rav Elyashev again. He says very clearly and repeatedly that we don’t (and beis din can’t) force him.
