Reply To: Shaitle Fraud Chillul Hashem Video: Sha'ar haTumah haChamishim

So right, that’s not exactly accurate. In truth theses are real cases and controversies between individual parties. They have agreed to adjudicate the claims in the televised forum, which is a technically a form of alternate dispute resolution. They agree to do that since the show’s producers agree to pay any award that is made. That way a defendant ordered to pay money winds up paying nothing, and a plaintiff is guaranteed payment. But this couple was real, they did lie and try to perpetrate a fraud, using Tzniut as the prop.
