Now I'm imagining an awesome premise for a TV show, giving back-story for The Yiddish Policeman's Union but focusing on the Verbover clan, years before reversion: kind of a smash-up of Northern Exposure, The Sopranos, and the Chosen.
Does not surprise me at all. Having had to force a friend's husband to give her a Get, I got to talk to a number of people and heard back in my day, the efforts that are sometimes required.
I am technically an agunah, and, if I were to actually take that issue seriously, I might be one of the folk who would employ such a service. Sighs. Yes, they're wrong in method. But the Law is craptastic in giving women real options.
