Contrary to popular belief a Heter Meah Rabbanim (at least in israel) does not mean Polygamy. The Rabbanut allows the Husband to re-marry b/c he has deposited a Get that the wife refuses/can't receive. It's just out of concern for the part of the Cherem D'Rabbenu Gershom that forbade giving a Get against the will of the woman, that the Rabbnut will wait until the woman accepts the Get before allowing her to marry someone else. But technically, the Beit Din can accept it on her behalf. In this movie, the woman the coma was already "divorced" and if the guy was Cohen he'd be in an even bigger fix if he chose to go back to wife #1Ben Bayithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540723595738423002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1140621635140791892006-02-22T17:20:00.000+02:002006-02-22T17:20:00.000+02:00RR: I hope to make it a weekly feature :)Elster: I...RR: I hope to make it a weekly feature :)<BR/><BR/>Elster: I'll email them to you. trying to lower my profile from the Philipino government now.<BR/><BR/>Millhouse: That's very interesting - thanks!<BR/><BR/>Irina: According to Millhouse, your decision was 100% correct halachically as well as morally.

Presumably this would have been required of our husband, and therefore the dilemma is solved - the bet din informs her that her get is waiting for her any time she wants it, and she can take as long as she likes to get used to it, but the facts aren't going to change.Milhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350874508580081286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1140459781421447162006-02-20T20:23:00.000+02:002006-02-20T20:23:00.000+02:00Is there any way to view the film school's movies ...Is there any way to view the film school's movies online?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13539920.post-1140454520195286502006-02-20T18:55:00.000+02:002006-02-20T18:55:00.000+02:00See, soaps and classics lead to the right results....See, soaps and classics lead to the right results.
