Reply To: When a Wife Can or Cannot Demand a "Get"

Rav Moshe, in Igros Moshe (E.H. 4:106), seems to make it impossible to justify publicly embarrassing a person solely for the purpose of giving a get – especially when he can not escape from the embarrassment by moving to a different neighborhood or community.

The Minchos Yitzchok (8:137) also would invalidate direct pressure to give a get by public humilation. The only pressure permitted is that which comes from something else which is alleviated by the giving of the get. If the sole reason for the pressure is to force the giving of a get – he says it invalidates the get according to all opinions.
