Title PROTEST IN MEA SHEARIM.
Scope and content The ultra religious quarter of Mea Shearim in Jerusalem had an unusual protest when Sara Lebel paraded outside the shop where her husband worked, carrying a placard, saying that her husband will not divorce her. In Jewish law a husband has to give his wife a ‘get' - divorce document. Without it she can not get a divorce in Israel, as a secular divorce is not recognized by the State. The refusal by the husband to ‘free' his wife, if the rabbinal court feels that she is entitled to a divorce, can result in the husband being sent to prison until he signs such a get. This pressure on the husband to be rea¬sonable and free his wife has to be taken, as without the signed divorce docu¬ment the woman cannot get married again. The problem works the other way as well, if a wife refuses to accept a get - thus not freeing the husband. The protest by Sara Lebel was to point out that the Rabbinical court had instructed Yona Lebel to give his wife a get, but for 2 1/2 years he has refused. Photo shows: The picture shows the protest outside Yona Lebel shop in Mea Shearim. The placards say, Yona Leibel - for 2 1/2 years he deserted his wife.
