Joseph:
I strongly disagree. The “Shalom Bayis” tactic is not about wanting to reconcile a marriage. It is more often a delay and refusal tactic. The reality is that there are some marriages that can be saved, and should be. I do not challenge the BD for paying attention to this claim. But the end result is that most of these cases have already failed at numerous efforts, and that this claim is unrelated to a true desire to reconcile. I speak from considerable experience.
As for the reference to the halachic pre-nup, I happen to be in the know. The RCA pre-nup has huge halachic questions, and the poskim ruled against for good reason. What you may not know is that there have been other efforts to develop something that the mainstream poskim can accept, and that quite a number of them have already approved it. It is not yet being rolled out to the public, but it has gotten past a surprising number of well recognized poskim. You may reserve your comments on this for the information about what comprises this and the opinions of the poskim that will be released to the public in due time. My reference was the reason for having a pre-nup, not any trace of accepting the existing RCA document. The proposed pre-nup does not cause Get-Meusa, as already concluded by renowned poskim. I apologize if you thought I stood in approval of the RCA version.
