<div dir="ltr">An interesting story from the last shiur of R. Zilberstein on medical halacha.<br><br>A man was always making bad investments against the advice of his wife. Finally<br>she went to a bet din to demand a divorce which they required the husband to give.<br>
The man gave the "get" and a little while later remarried. Much later the wife decided to<br>remarry and the mesader kiddushin asked to see the "get" (I guess some copy as she<br>normally doesnt get the original). He found out that her middle name was left out<br>
of the :get" and said she needed a new get. When she went to the first husband he said<br>for a second "get" he wants $50,000.<br><br>She then came crying to R. Zilberstein who went to R. Elyashiv who guaranteed the woman<br>
wouldn't pay a penny. He told R. Zilberstein to tell the first husband that he is a<br>bigamist since he is now married to 2 women. (1) it is illegal in Israel and he will go to<br>jail (2) since he is violating the cherem of Rabbenu Gershon he will not live a long<br>
life.<br>The man agreed to reduce his request for $50,000. R. Zilberstein replied that she will not<br>pay a penny and if he doesnt come to bet din to give a new "get" he will declare him<br>in willfulviolation of the cherem and his life will be shortened.<br>
<br>The man came the next morning to bet din to give a new "get" without any conditions<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Eli Turkel<br>
