Reply To: survey on the Get experience

Joseph, you say “. . . a civil divorce is halachicly meaningless as to whether beis din is halachicly authorized and able to order a Get. . .” You may be right. Not sure. The Bais Horaah of Lakewood stated the same as you. But other posters were saying the beis din would just order and/or issue a Get if the couple showed up with a civil divorce. Hopefully, posters with first-hand knowledge can definitively say if this is true or not. Thanks.
