What does the term ‘a chained wife’ (Isha Aguna) mean?
Even today, all Jewish citizens of Israel marry according to the Jewish religious laws (‘Halacha’). Beyond the implications this has on the nature of the wedding ceremony and the married life, these laws also have a strong influence over the divorce procedure.
Both these procedures- marriage and divorce- are carried out according to the instructions of the rabbinical courts. Accordingly, partners who wish to divorce must sign a divorce agreement. After the completion of the procedure, the husband grants his wife a ‘Get’, which functions as the approval that the divorce has become effective and that both parties agree to it. Only following the grant of the Get will the rabbinical court officially and irrevocably approve the divorce.
The religious laws determine that a woman who was not granted a Get from her husband is still considered married, even if the husband’s duties to her are not fulfilled. Because she is still married, she cannot remarry nor have a relationship with another person- as she will then be considered an adulterer. Such a situation, in which the man decides whether or not to grant a divorce, leads many women to face an impossible situation.
