1. This is why Yidden shouldn’t have cell phones or be allowed to text!

2. So she wants to force him to marry her? Once she is calculating her “compensation” package, She should deduct the value of avoiding future legal fees to litigate her divorce, and the value of the pain and suffering she is avoiding by not entering a doomed marriage. (sorry about the double negatives)

3. She should be happy his immaturity surfaced before the wedding, instead of after.

4. the answer to people who have horrid character is NOT to ban cell phones! how about teaching people to be decent, upstanding people who have values and treat people with respect?? Have we forgotten that that is what being a Torah jew is all about?? This has nothing to do with cell phones. This is about a self-centered, ‘it’s all about me’ attitude. and it’s the source of destruction. if someone has underlying character that’s fit for a thug, it’s going to come out through any means he gets his hands on. To blame this on cell phones is to have completely missed the boat. it’s time to stop preaching frumkeit start teaching yiras shomayim.

5. Whats does this have to do with cell phones. If not for cell phones he would have told her in person. And if anything according to your logic thank you for cell phones. If not for cell phones they would have probably had gotten married and divorced which would have been a lot worse. Thank you for cell phones and especially texting.

6. naturally, we do not know the whole story so people jumping to conclusions is not fair. However, from the context of the story– a 22 year old kallah, a chosin, and a fight over money, sounds like these two where playing house ( mommy and daddys money is being fought over not their own zayas apecha) so, if you don’t have any skin in the game ( i.e. can at least try to make your own way in a marraige and not rely on tzedakka {i.e. family)) it s real easy to simply sms and say goodbye.

   we’ve forgotten our chazal– first the house, then the kaylim, THEN the kallah–

7. I wouldn’t really trust the validity of the Yedios HaTumah newspaper.

8. #4 Is Right!!!!

   Although Cell phones can be used for bad things, in this particular case it had nothing to do with it.

   Selfish brat is more what this story portrays! (that is if u believe the story, it is coming from the most reliable source Yediot Achrnut aka Idiot at last)

9. You can’t fix stupid. (Jim White – KMOX Radio)

   And I mean both of them. Him for texting & her for suing!

10. #2: She is not seeking enforcement, she is seeking compensatory damages (or, in the Lashon HaGemarah, he is seeking Nezek, Tzaar, and Boshes). In common tort law, this is called Breach of Promise, Breach of Promise to Marry, or Heart Balm (depending on the jurisdiction). Most jurisdictions have abolished it (NY, NJ, and PA, to name some relevant ones). In states that still have it, they require a written contract – like… Tana’im??? – to adjudicate such a breach. In this case, she is probably seeking adjudication of the Tana’im, which is why they are there in the first place.

11. #9 – You have a point. Maybe they are made for each other after all. 🙂
