Ep69: Why "put away" did not always mean a valid divorce

from The Divorced Christian

What did it really mean in ancient Israel to be "put away"? According to Jewish law, sometimes the phrase described a complete divorce - but other times it meant only separation, leaving the marriage legally intact until a gett (bill of divorce) was given. In this episode, we uncover the surprising difference between being "put away" and being truly divorced, and why this distinction trapped many women in a state of uncertainty. We'll explore when the law considered "put away" a complete divorce and when the couple still. required a gett.
