There is a major misconception on these pages. Kesubah is not just document, but the entire system behind it. The wife is obligated to work for the benefit of the household. The husband is obligated to provide for her completely. The husband is entitled to abandon her to go learn and teach Torah. In town kollel, is a bit more complex. But as long as the money is there, this part of his obligation is fulfilled. Now, people are not starving there days. The recurring idea that kollel wives are exerting themselves just tokeep body and soul together, is the equivalent of deep state theories. Grow up.
