The truth is that I made a mistake in saying that you can’t believe someone when they said they are being abused.
I should really have said that I don’t know about that situation.
In any case, a story where Rabbonim say that the wife should try to stick it out shows how important it is to try to stay in a marriage and therefore I think they are testing the wife to see if it’s THAT bad as she makes it to be. But I have no doubt that if she insists that she is being abused (if she is) and it is having a negative effect on her (and maybe her kids if she has any) the Rabbonim would support her if she insists on a divorce.
Sometimes one can’t say who’s right, right away. It takes some time to analyze a situation therefore it’s important for the abused spouse to gather their courage to do the right thing and insist on a divorce.
