Mael Time With Daniel Mael

Agunot, Get Refusal, and the Truth Behind Jewish Divorce

June 5, 2026·1h 8m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Jewish divorce is one of the most emotional, misunderstood, and controversial issues in the Orthodox world. In this episode, Rabbi Benyamin Rahmanov joins Daniel Mael for a candid discussion about agunot, get refusal, rabbinical courts, child custody disputes, social media activism, and the growing tensions between halacha and modern society. The conversation examines who holds power in the divorce process, when public pressure helps or harms, the role of Bais Din versus secular courts, and why no two divorce cases are alike. Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, Rabbi Rahmanov offers a detailed look inside the halachic framework that governs Jewish divorce and addresses some of the most difficult questions facing Jewish families today.
