summary

Concerns the legal and emotional tangle presented by the Agunah issue. No doubt written at a time of marital tension among immigrants, with dislocated families, lengthy or even permanent separations, all a result of immigration to America. The work engendered opposition from some rabbinic quarters due to the leniences advocated by the author.
