Reply To: Religious Coercion in Israel

Avi K, I happen to agree with you. My post was directed at those who do not support outlawing certain activities on Shabbos, or the Rabbinate controlling marriage. This is not an uncommon position – many will tell you that we should not force anybody to what is right, just show them unconditional love and hope that that will sway them.

Do those who believe the aforesaid support attempts to force recalcitrant husbands to give a get? If so, what’s the difference?
