I've ordered the book but haven't got it yet, so don't know if this is relevant.
Just want to add a very recent case in Israel about "chained wives".
This woman's husband had been in a coma for 7 years after a motor bike accident. She wanted a divorce (get) in order to remarry but this was refused because he hadn't/couldn't give consent. He isn't expected to come out of the coma.
At last some rabbis have found a way round the problem ( on a technicality of the law) and she will get her divorce. This is being opposed by some ultra-orthodox rabbis.
Frannygranny - if you want to know the meaning of hebrew terms I can probably help.

Passports not in the drawer I always keep them in. Turning the place upside down.
