  • Summary

  • Susan reveals how Israel’s rabbinic courts concoct an unholy trifecta of rigid formalism, extortion, and violence to deal with women trapped in unwanted marriages. Who really holds the power—the husbands or the dayanim (rabbinic judges)? Should the ends justify the means when punishing get refusers? Susan and Rivkah discuss why change remains elusive when justice, religion, and human rights collide. Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation. Mentioned in this episode: Article: "A Woman Acquires [Freedom for] Herself in 3 Ways…" by Susan Weiss Book: Marriage and Divorce in the Jewish State: Israel's Civil War by Susan Weiss and Netty Gross-Horowitz
