Would you marry a woman who was divorced through a Heter Meah Rabbonim from 100 of your kollel guy friends with smicha, considering that your children from this marriage “
Ain’t no such animal, as far as I know. Women cannot get such a heter. Only a man can, and as was pointed out, typically if the wife is physically and/or mentally unable to accept a GET.In that case, if the wife recovers, SHE still needs a Get from him, I believe, even if he has remarried, because his heter is to take another wife, not to be considered as divorced from the former one. A woman therefore, is truly bound until freed either through divorce or death (preferably HIS).
I remember a close friend of mine who was an Agunah for over ten years. Her rabbonim finally made it known to the husband that on such and such a date they were going to convene the entire Kehillah to say Tehillim and daven for the wife to be kosher to marry a Kohein (, i.e., that he should drop dead). She had her Get within a week’s time.
