No. A woman’s status is called a “gerusha”, but a man has no equivelent status in halacha.
mommomia: Very simply that a wife cannot divorce her husband, under Jewish law.
The issue applies to a twice divorced woman. (See above.) Not a man who divorced two women. In fact, a man cannot be “divorced” under Jewish law.
Certainly there is. See the maare makom cited by “avrah” above.
Henry created the Anglician religion by breaking off the English branch of the Catholic Church and starting his own religion so he could do what he wanted.
I would suggest that a twice divorced woman may have the same status as a twice widowed woman.
Btw, Edward could legally marry a divorcee under Anglician law, but he was forced to abdicate because it was considered unbecoming for a King to marry a divorcee. Not that it was illegal.
So I’m still unsure how you are demonstrating that Anglician law didn’t allow for divorce until much after Henry’s times.
Wolf: Thank you.
Why couldn’t Henry obtain an annulment from Rome, considering canon law provides for annulment?
akuperma: Why didn’t America allow divorce until the mid-19th century? Anglician law allowed divorce already from Henry’s times.
The Briskers take the BJJ grads.
Many great rabbonim married their cousin.
Was he blocked?
Looks are much less important for a girl than it is for a guy.
Why do you have friends of the female persuasion?
Menucha: Other people are grossed out by interracial marriages.
Hakol doshin bo like the reason Rav Moshe says smoking is muttar? You can hakol doshin bo for MBP too.
Often the outgoing Rosh Yeshiva chooses his succesor (prior to his petira, obviously).
Anyone from a State that doesn’t perform marriages between first cousins, can simply visit another State that does allow it (i.e. New York State), get a marriage license from that State, and return home that same evening.
All 50 States will 100% absolutely recognize the marriage, including their home state.
Health: What is the heter to engage in sakanos nefoshos such as driving (on vacation)? Driving is a much much much greater risk of sakanos nefoshos — according to any statistics — than MBP.
Some people do not hang anything on the schach since they hold nothing should be between you (eating) and the schach.
Who are the Roshei Yeshivos, other than Rav Aharon Schechter, in Chaim Berlin; and who is the next after Rav Aharon?
2 and half days before Yuntif and I see $10 and $20/sets for sale.
He won’t know how you voted. So make the “right” choice. Vote Romney.
So you’re flat footed, huh?
There are a couple of old threads detailing step-by-step on how to change your CR password. Search the old threads for change password.
The Esrog’s mehudar worth is based upon defined halachic mehudardik attributes of the Esrog. Not what you pay for it. An Esrog bought for $10 could be worth far more than one paid $50 for.
Wow! A truly amazing story.
In the Torah world he is a midget. Whatever his medical qualification are or aren’t. (And even in medicine, I understand it is more on the aren’t side than the are side.)
A Jew was spiritually better off living in the ghetto than living in modern America.
And spiritual living is a lot more important than material living.
Starting at $35/set.
Prof. Tendler has small shoes. He is a little man with no rights to fight the giants.
If you shop there, it isn’t “illegal” to park there – even if you subsequently walk out of the area. It is tresspasing. Though the fees charged by the towing company are unreasonably and unjustifiably high. What if they demanded $2,000 before they would agree to return your car? They can’t charge an unfair amout. And $200+ is thievery.
It should be noted that about six years ago Tendler boasted in one of his YU courses that he reported a mohel to the government. YU put an audio of his course on its website, as it generally does for all those courses. After it became widely known, he quickly had YU delete that audio of his course with his incriminating statement. (By now copies of the audio is available online, outside of the YU site.)
I also strongly suspect he is responsible for being at least partially responsible for instigating the NYC DOHMH to initiate these proceedings this year that resulted in them regulating MBP.
Hobby or addiction, fellows?
Is it a lot of trouble for newcomers to get their children into Yeshiva and Beis Yaakov in Lakewood?
It should be assur to drive, too, due to sakanos nefoshos. Especially to drive on vacation, when the driving is unessential.
Kol kevuda bas yisroel penima. Women should not aim to become famous.

I believe Romney will win the electoral college (and become the next President), but the popular vote will be close.
You can make $100,000 and qualify for WIC (if you have enough children.) Eligibility is based upon family size.
