Polemic against the proposals advanced by certain quarters of the French Rabbinate to permit civil divorce as sufficient without recourse to Halachic “Get” proceedings - as long as certain conditions were mutually agreed upon just prior to the original marriage service. This matter originally arose in 1908 and some 20 years later, R. Chaim Ozer Grodzenski saw the need to again publicize mass international rabbinic opposition to the newly proposed trend.
