No Az, you’re wrong there. Things can stand on their own merits and do not need to be called by misnomers that obfuscate the issue. I don’t have to call an unmarried girl BARREN. Someone who is barren cannot have children. Someone who is an agunah can never get married.Period. Poor analogy, IMO. The unmarried girl (or boy, for that matter) may not YET be married, but nothing is biologically or halachically impeding them from doing so, unlike the aforementioned people.
