Women occupy a central place in public consciousness in our time. Changes are occurring in many areas, and are bringing women closer towards equality with men. One of the main changes occurring are in law, and especially family law, governing the activities of women in their main traditional arena. Most of the issues in family law impact the status of women directly or indirectly, but the most important are the issues that determine her marriage: polygamy and forceful divorce . The author invites the reader of this book to a journey that introduces the process of design and formulation of the protection offered by various denominations in Jewish law to the marriage status of women, while having a complex and fascinating reciprocal relationship among themselves and with the environment. Westreich manages to illuminate this complex topic from several angles. This book will interest the practical litigator and the modern reader as well as those affiliated with the traditional rabbinical seminary.
