Reply To: Is it ever proper to withhold a get?

I find your story very hard to believe. How could you possibly know whether the molestation did in fact happen or not? Also, no lawyer would ever encourage their client to make up such a story because they could easily be disbarred. I find that all too often people are too quick to believe the wife made up stories about the “Frum, innocent tzaddik of a husband who couldn’t possibly have done what she says he did.” Some people are naive and ignorant enough to not understand that just because a man is nice and Frum and kind to people on the outside, that he could have a different side to him when he’s home with his wife and children. Do you really think all child molesters look like monsters? Do they wear a Sign? No they look like regular people on the outside and some (gasp) even have long beards, remember appearances can be deceiving and not be so willing and trusting to believe foolishly that the wife must be making up stories. Remember there is a reason she wanted out of the marriage and lots of times it’s because of abuse, whether towards her and or the kids,
