Gadol – why get married only to have a chiyuv to divorce a wife for breaking hilchos tznius without getting a kesuba? That’s the din…

A marriage built on pritzus isn’t going to last; tznius provides the bedrock foundation for a healthy married life. I agree that discounting eligible women is wrong, but would you consider them eligible if they were not shomer shabbos? What about if they binge watched all day on their phones? Halacha determines these things, not our western-washed minds.

Or is it just a “personal choice”?

Why are we told to “look in the mirror” when it comes to tznius issues which impact us directly, but you don’t mind being the “chilul Hashem” police when it comes to publicly shaming people who are dishonest with the government, or men who supposedly hold their ex wives prisoners (not only the men, but innocent family members who live with them)?

Either we “look in the mirror” and don’t oppose anyone who violates the Torah, or we understand that despite our imperfections we do have a responsibility to give tochacha when applicable and at the very least arm ourselves with whatever tools we can against any and all breeches of Torah.

The Torah isn’t yours to defend when you please and turn away when it’s a mitzvah that you don’t particularly care about.
