Basically, the AhS says to make the Kiddushin, Nisuin, and all the Bios Al
T'nai that if she is Nofel L'yibum then the whole thing will not be Chal,
and that she will be - L'mafrei'ah - a Pnuyah M'yuchad to him. So, I'm sure
that someone must have already asked this, but why can't this solve the
"Agunah Crisis"?
