Divorce In Jewish Law And Life / objective of this book is to provide the essentials of the Jewish law of marriage and divorce, including the "get" procedure. It traces the historical development of rabbinic legislation for the protection of the rights of women; it discusses in depth Jewish divorce in modern times and it presents a detailed analysis of the various attempts at solving the problem of the "agunah," the woman in marital limbo who "is unable to remarry because of the refusal of her ex-husband to grant her a "get." Special chapters deal, with the "get" in American courts and the attempts to protect the rights of the victimized spouse through appropriate legislation of which the latest example is the recently enacted New York State law.
