Reply To: Where are the Manhigim?

Nothing drastic happens. If a family does not meet local standards they won’t be able to send to a local school. No one would actually hurt them physically, or give them public yellings. The rebbetzin might invite a woman or girl who isn’t dressing right to her house for a private talk. All the stories that reach the news about people pouring bleach on “nonkosher” clothing is some hot-headed bocherim that are playing hookey from yeshiva. They’re not doing it because their rebbes approve of it- lehefuch, they’re doing it to get their rebbes mad at them.
