L., who had been denied a religious divorce for three years, received her long-awaited get in recent days after heavy financial sanctions were imposed on her recalcitrant husband, who lives abroad but owns property in Israel, according to a Ynet report.
The couple, who lived together for more than a decade in the United States, separated in 2023. Since then, L. had tried unsuccessfully to obtain a get. Despite proceedings she pursued in rabbinical courts in the U.S., and despite a ruling requiring the husband to grant the get, he continued to refuse, declaring he would never give it.
L. turned to Yad La’isha, which represents agunot and women denied a get, for help in securing the divorce. After learning that the husband owned real estate in Israel, attorney Tehila Cohen, who represented L. on behalf of Yad La’isha, petitioned the Haifa Rabbinical Court to impose liens on his properties and bank accounts in Israel.
After the court granted the request and the husband was notified of the liens, the parties agreed to arbitration in the U.S. Despite a ruling in the case, the husband continued to impede the proceedings.
In response, Cohen and the Agunot Department of the rabbinical courts moved to renew proceedings against him, including a ruling in Israel obligating him to grant the get and the transfer of his seized assets into receivership.
Once he realized he could lose his property in Israel, the financial pressure had its effect. Just days before a hearing scheduled to advance the proceedings against him, the husband unexpectedly appeared at the rabbinical court and agreed to grant the long-awaited get.
“Once again, we have seen the enormous leverage financial sanctions can provide against men who refuse to grant a get, even when they do not live in Israel,” Cohen said. “Thankfully, L. received the long-awaited get thanks to the dedicated cooperation of the Agunot Department and the Haifa Rabbinical Court, and she can now continue her life as a free woman. We will continue working for the freedom and independence of every chained woman in Israel and abroad.”

"Once he realized he could lose his property in Israel, the financial pressure had its effect." ?
Technically this is called a Gett meusseh (gett performed under pressure) that most dayanim would consider passul...
Let's hope the israeli dayanim know what they're doing, and good luck for her next husband.
You need to re-learn what a Gett meussa is!!
This is a perfectly kosher gett according to ALL poiskim.
A much better choice would have been, a bullet right between the eyes.
Jack why do you think she deserves a bullet ??
When it comes to mamzairis we are not looking for some b’dieved drei with you grubbeh finger to force someone to give a get.
I know if even you would relearn the Halacha a ( or maybe just learn them yourself b’iyun for the first time) you game will change. And a game it is at this point.
Pray educate us. Why isnt it a get meusah?
6:13
If a rabbinical bais din rules that the husband must give a get, based on legitimate halachic grounds like abuse or if she hates him, they can pressure him with financial and other means until he says "I want to"
That kind of sanctioned pressure doesn't in any way invalidate it
If,and only if,the bais din legitimately and explicitly rules that that the husband may be forced to give a get. She hating him does not qualify according to normative halacha. Ergo, the children mamzerim.
3:53
My mother a"h would always say
"it's better to shut your mouth and be thought a fool then speak up and remove all doubt"
I think you should take my mother's advice!
If a woman hates her husband that is a legitimate reason to force a get, absolutely!
Shame you didnt write the shulcan aruch. Your mother would have been proud of you
only limited for the few reasons listed in the Mishna Kesubos 7:10. "וְאֵלּוּ שֶׁכּוֹפִין אוֹתוֹ לְהוֹצִיא, מֻכֵּה שְׁחִין, וּבַעַל פּוֹלִיפּוֹס, וְהַמְקַמֵּץ, וְהַמְצָרֵף נְחֹשֶׁת, וְהַבֻּרְסִי" and not for any other reasons. The Shulchan Aruch does not bring a Psak HaLacha Kofin Oso for almost all modern demands of women forcing a gett, which would then render it according to the Shulchan Aruch a gett meusa or a forced getting which is invalid. if she gets married in such a manner, subsequent children are Mamzeirim. Check Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer 77:2. There is no mention of Kofin Oso. the language used there by the Shulchan Aruch is "אִם רָצָה הַבַּעַל לְגָרְשָׁהּ". we follow the Shulchan Aruch L'Haka ha. not the Rambam. if we always Paskined like the Rambam, there would be fewer divorces, see Rambam Hilchos Is his on the status of the responsibilities of a man and woman within a marriage.
To DIN 9:03 pm
"If a woman hates her husband that is a legitimate reason to force a get" ?... ah right... and before that, we all thought that only women who love their husbands file up for a get... of course.
There can even be a hundred "legitimate reasons": every forced gett is a case of its own. You don't kasher neveilos & treifos with "legitimate reasons".

First of all, I live in Israel and learn most of my day so I don't look at the incoming comments, sometimes it could take me 12 hours until I get around it!
Your sources mean absolutely ZERO! I'll get to that in an independent post, but why would a guy want to live with his wife if she hates him?
Only a sick, depraved masochist would want that!
And you with your "sources" are an enabler of vile sick piece of crap! Why would you want to hang out with this turd in the same cesspool?
SHE HATES HIM!!!!! Don't you get it??
Take your "sources" and shove them where the sun will never shine!

The Bais Dins in the USA and In Israel now follow the Rambam, the Geonim, Rif, Rashbam that a woman if she finds her husband "repulsive" and she says that she hates him, they will force a get! They don't pasken like the Shulchan Aruch and the Rabbeinu Tam !
I know that because I sit on a Bais Din in Monsey and those are our instructions in a case like this. These Bais Dins have on who to rely on.
To Bnei Yoel 9:17 am
In this particular case, does she hate him, or is she just after his money ?
1:33
Since only the RBS"O knows that, if she says she hates him, we will believe her, since there is absolutely no chance for this marriage to work.
9:17
in issueim doiraysa, we don't Paskin like the minority opinions. and certainly we follow the Shulchan Aruch or as it is know as the "Code of Je'Wish Law". Any Bais Din that rules according to the RamBam Koifin Oiso in cases in the category of Maus Alaiy, are creating gett meusa and Mamzeirim. Look in the Sugya of the Shulchan Aruch where a woman is not complying with her wife duties, that she is put in Cherem and public announcements are regularly made against her as well as fines are set until she returns in peace and cooperation back to her husband. Campaigning against a husband when a woman demands a gett in on the category of Maus Alaiy is against the Shulchan Aruch.
Listen Crapmeister 9:17 and listen good!
No Legitimate Bais Din in the entire world would allow a wife who hates her husband to continue the marriage. You can bring Shulchan Aruchs until the cows come home, no erlichar Yid would allow that for one second!
Would you force your own daughter to live with a guy that she hates?? Would YOU live with a woman that you cannot stand??
Forcing a drek like Rafeeeeee Stein to give a get would never be a "get Meusa" I know the "sugya" very well , and now I'm wondering of what kind of lowlife are you that you keep harping on this? Are you a mamzer yourself??
Because it sure sounds like it!
I'm just quoting what the Shulchan Aruch Psak is. I get it that you and the Monsey Bais Din that Bnei Yoel above mentioned that he's sits on don't follow the Psak of the Shulchan Aruch.
8:04
Rambam, the Geonim, Rif, all came before the Shulchan Aruch and if you ever learned in a Semicha Class the first thing they teach you is that you first find and learn All sources before you come up with your psak, the Remah goes against the Shulchan Aruch multiple times and so does the Mishna Berura!
Now listen you mamzer, take YOUR Shulchan Aruch and shove it up, and give YOUR wife a Gett she has been waiting for it for 5 years already!
If you don't give your wife the gett soon, she will get free another way and you won't be around to see it!
Way before the Shulchan Aruch the Torah Hakedoishe wrote:
לא תעמוד על דם רעך
Every second that you don't give that Gett you are oiver an Issur De'Orisah!
The Ramban wrote a thousand years ago about people like you that quote from the Shulchan Aruch, that they are
a נבל ברשות התורה
All legitimate Bais Dins rule as what the Shulchan Aruch Psak is. A Bais Din that has a case brought before them, is obligated to look in the Shulchan Aruch and see what is written, and Paskin accordingly. otherwise as the Mishna states, such a Bais Din that does not follow the Shulchan Aruch is, see Mishna Avos 3;11; והַמְגַלֶּה פָנִים בַּתּוֹרָה שֶׁלֹּא כַהֲלָכָה, אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁיֵּשׁ בְּיָדוֹ תּוֹרָה וּמַעֲשִׂים טוֹבִים, אֵין לוֹ חֵֽלֶק לָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. and Avos 5;8: חֶרֶב בָּאָה לָעוֹלָם עַל עִנּוּי הַדִּין, וְעַל עִוּוּת הַדִּין, וְעַל הַהוֹרִים בַּתּוֹרָה שֶׁלֹּא כַהֲלָכָה."
1:10 aka Gett refuser
You keep repeating your lomdishe am-ratzas, and I'm going to tell you this for the last time,
A legitimate Bais Din will ask the lady why she wants this divorce, the only reason they ask that is to find out if they can work out sholom bayis, should she say that hates him, it's all over, they will then tell the husband you need to give that gett,
Your Mishna in Avos has nothing to do with this at all,
the Bais Din has every right to ignore the Shulchan Aruch just like the Rama and the Mishna Berura do all the time, and rule like the the geonim, Rif, Rambam and the Rashbam !
Give the gett you mamzer ben nidda !
