Reply To: “Marriage counseling hastens divorce far more often than it saves a marriage”

Read the excellent article in yesterday’s NY Times addressing the growing number for frum Yiddeshe women coming forward to report domestic abuse. There is more willingness among rabbonim and askanim in the frum tzibur to affirmatively address these issues, provide access to resources and counseling and when needed, assist in obtaining a divorce as an option where the women are provided a needed support network for life afterwards. This is not the only reason for the changing trends, but certainly a factor.
