The institution of a standard practice of signing a prenuptial agreement for the prevention of Get-refusal can prevent what had become a growing problem. And within a few years of such a practice taking hold, the rabbinic leadership will be able to say, without fear of contradiction, “We don’t have an agunah problem.”
Rachel Levmore, a Ph.D. from Bar-Ilan University, is a rabbinical court advocate, coordinator of the Get-Refusal Prevention Project of the Council of Young Israel Rabbis and the Jewish Agency, and author of “Minee Einayich Medima” on prenuptial agreements for the prevention of Get refusal.
