Reply To: Divorcing -Why?

Yiddishe Kup -“If the husband were to be michalel shabbos in public or eat pork, it would sufficient reason to divorce. I see no difference.”

I wasn’t questioning the Halachic right, just what is the difference in these women’s minds between a smoker and an addict.

Why one and not the other?

“As for your other question. It is both a logical decision and an emotional one. Unless it’s a divore required by the Torah, ALL divorces are due to emotions besides for logic.”

Well my point was that the claim of “he isn’t keeping Halacha” isn’t really based on that a lot of time, but on emotions. And this might not be a Torah reason to allow for divorce.
