  • Summary

  • Can a Jewish marriage that was never consummated be annulled? Not so fast. Susan Weiss and Rivkah Lubitch tell the story of a 17-year-old girl in a marriage she can’t escape. The episode introduces the halachic concept of “ma’is alay”–“he disgusts me”–circumstances under which a woman cannot stand to sleep with her husband, which has implications for divorce. Being repulsed by her husband did not help the 17-year-old girl get out of her marriage. What did? Justice Unbound is made possible by the generous support of the Gimprich Family Foundation.
