If the brother refuses to participate in the ceremony, for whatever reason, she is an aguna, but he can take another wife, if the widow refuses. This is not a judgement, just a statement of fact. Then, people are left scratching their heads, questioning why there are OTD’s.
please, who provoked you to go into negitave offence. this is just a nice clip of a rare mitzva and you have to be the party pooper.
by the way, OTD is almost always a result of trauma, abuse, or mental and emotional health issues.
the dumb negative comments such as those made by judith are merely a poor excuse to run away from the reality of their issues.
the torah is god -given, and it’s laws are of supreme wisdom. there are answers to all your questions ( which you obviously saw in some sour bloggers garbage, you didn’t learn yevamos, did you).
if you have a serious question, ask a knowledgeable person and that’s it.
So God got it wrong?
There are nasty people in the world, who misuse god’s word for their own purposes. Like their are nasty people who misuse the nature god created for nefarious purposes.
When I was in yeshiva, there was one rav who was an expert in gittin and chalitzas. He probably had one or two gittin a week, but chalitza’s were rare, maybe once every few years. Whenever he did one, there were lots of people who came to watch. Gittin not so much.
Amazing! Something that I’ve only ever learnt about and never heard of an actual case, nevermind seeing it in action.
I saw a chalitza done once in Breuer’s Shul. The whole ‘ceremony’ was beautiful. When the woman came outside everyone wished her Mazal Tov.
