Kidnap a man to force him to allow divorce

[Indofred]

Amazing.
These guys were going to kidnap a man and torture him until he granted a divorce to his wife.
Nice to see these animals arrested and, hopefully, banged up for a long time.

Maybe his wife didn't feel banged up enough.

U.S. Accuses 2 Rabbis of Kidnapping Husbands for a Fee


In Brooklyn’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods, Mendel Epstein made a name for himself as the rabbi to see for women struggling to divorce their husbands. Among the Orthodox, a divorce requires the husband’s permission, known as a “get,” and tales abound of women whose husbands refuse to consent.


While it’s common for rabbis to take action against defiant husbands, such as barring them from synagogue life, Rabbi Epstein, 68, took matters much further, according to the authorities.

For hefty fees, he orchestrated the kidnapping and torture of reluctant husbands, charging their wives as much as $10,000 for a rabbinical decree permitting violence and $50,000 to hire others to carry out the deed, according to federal charges unsealed on Thursday morning.

Rabbi Epstein, along with another rabbi, Martin Wolmark, who is the head of a yeshiva, as well as several men in what the authorities called the “kidnap team,” appeared in Federal District Court in Trenton after a sting operation in which an undercover federal agent posed as an Orthodox Jewish woman soliciting Rabbi Epstein’s services.

Shame these Jewish females do not have the same rights as Jewish males in the USA

I believe the Jewish thing is unimportant and the focus should be on the rights of women to get a divorce without hassle.
I can't comment on many countries but I can on Indonesia, Malaysia and England.
England has easy divorce as do the other two but I prefer the laws here as they're so simple.
A woman can divorce her husband for a variety of valid reasons, including abuse and abandonment.
Upon such divorce, all assets, except inherited ones, must be shared 50/50.
Add the ease of having little justice offices around in almost every small town and things generally work well.

Dead easy and simple enough for poorly educated people to follow with ease.

I know some Christian,Muslim, Buddhist <insert your religion here> men are easily as bad as the men mentioned in the OP but religion isn't really the focus here, it's educating men to understand women are humans, not animals to be owned.
