Agunot is a situation in which a Jew is found when his partner disappears and can not be located, when it is not known whether the spouse is alive or dead or when the partner is in a state of insanity or coma. In such a case, the anchoring man or woman can not receive a divorce from the spouse.

As long as the divorce is not granted, the anchor can not marry another woman, except in rare cases for men only. The halakha states that a divorce can not be granted without the consent of the two spouses, namely that the husband must agree to divorce and the woman must agree to accept it. If one of the parties refuses to give or receive the get, it is not possible to divorce until the dispute is resolved. The Rabbinical Court may try to apply pressure to the party that refuses to grant or receive the get through the application of various sanctions, but it is not possible to force it to do so. This situation creates a situation in which a man or a woman is forced to remain in a "paper" marriage relationship that is not actually realized, and can not be terminated by divorce and divorce, and can continue for many years during which the anchor will be considered married and can not marry new.

The public discourse tends to emphasize the agunot problem more than the Agunim problem. Today, there is a coalition of 27 organizations dealing with agunot and mesoravot get, but there are no organizations that deal with the problem of agunot and mesoravot get. The drowning is more common among women than men, although both sides seem to be equally exposed to it, since quite a few women refuse to accept the divorce and release their husband from the marriage, for various reasons, most of whom are interested in receiving financial benefits or seeking revenge. (Denial of the right to manage a bank account, denial of the right to use a credit card, orders to stay abroad, arrests and demands for financial compensation).

The reason for the high prevalence among women stems from religious law – which are much more difficult and complex for women, including the easier requirements for allowing a man to anchor as opposed to allowing an agunah.

Anchored Man

Unlike women, in the past, married men were legally entitled to marry another woman, and over the years, the changing of the age of the period prohibited them from this possibility, based on the laws of the State of Israel. Furthermore, a man anchored in an intimate relationship outside marriage is not considered adultery, and therefore no parallel laws will apply to an adulterous woman. Thus, the legal status of a man anchored is considered easier than that of an agunized woman, but on the other hand, he is bound by a woman's foods as long as the marriage is valid, regardless of living together under one roof.

In most cases, men are the ones who leave their wives agunot and cause them suffering and grief for many years, but today it is already known that in Israel and around the world there are many agunot men whose wives refuse to give them a get for various reasons: revenge, beatings and blackmail. It is recommended to do this after consulting the legal profession with an expert lawyer in the field who will assess the chances of facing risks, including applying for a forced divorce in the Rabbinical Court.
