I Truly Hesitate To Put This Video Up - However, Miriam Is a Self-Proclaimed Victim Of Sexual Abuse, Left Observant Judaism Because Of It - I will Give Her the latitude I Would Afford No Other - Turn On Closed Caption - Wait For It!
Uriah’s Wife3:07 PM, February 21, 2022 Among the many abusive outrages anchored in Orthodox legalisms, agunah halacha stands out. This is a prominent feature of the falsity of Orthodox halacha. What logical reason might exist that denies a woman the right to initiate divorce proceedings against her husband? There is none. It is as false as the Doctrine Of Divine Right Of Kings and equally ruinous. If Orthodox Halacha is the epitome of God’s justice, it is the logical consequence to abandon Orthodoxy altogether.
There are certain bad behaviors & deficiencies allowing for a woman to initiate a divorce. The real problem is that the militant feminist movement tries too often to misapply the exceptions.
There is no such thing as a type of halacha & legalisms being exclusive to Orthodox. There is one halacha for everyone. Sounds like someone has problems with halacha that extend beyond (often fake) agunahs.
“...There is one Halacha for everyone...” Not true. Halacha is as different and adversarial as the many different judgements of Ta’anaim, Amorim, Rishonim etc are. Their Halacha may not be your Halacha and these Holy Men are as beloved of Hashem as your Halachists are. So there is not just one Halacha for everyone, only the one that you’re comfortable with for whatever reason. As far as “fake agunah” goes, the solution is simple: just modify Halacha and problem solved. And you’re right. There are many more perfidious problems in Chareidiland that extend beyond agunah.
