Fundamentally, it is a result of churban, galut,  the lack of a sanhedrin,
etc. No - the halachic system is not perfect and  even causes suffering. Dr.
Rosenak is correct that in this case, as in  others, the problem is not that
G-d designed an imperfect system, but that  the system has deteriorated. He
misidentifies the cause of the deterioration  as "the rabbis." The cause of
the deterioration is churban and galut - the  rabbis are those who saved the
system from total  disintegration.<<

My father R' Bulman zt'l said something very similar about the  problem of 
agunos.  It is one of the tzaros of galus.  The hands  of the rabbanim are often 
tied, not because of the halacha, but because of  galus.
