All those advocating for polygamy on this thread, are you even married at all? Methinks no. Keep dreaming.
The sheer ignorance here of what a Jewish marriage is all about is tragi-comic.
“The sudden obsession with CRG is not about debating the finer points of Halacha. It’s about wickedness and evil dressed up as an innocent discussion…”
My reference is to the sudden obsession generally, as discussed in the 5TJT. I am definitely not referring to any specific individual.
Gefiltefish, mentsch1 etc: The most infamous heter mea rabanim is the one issued to Meir Kin who got around the condition of requiring a get to be deposited with a beis din, by having a non-conventional beis din collude with him in his scheme to be מעגן his first wife while allowing himself to marry a second wife. This beis din, never actually makes the get available for pickup by the first wife using a variety of tactics.
The current fragmented state of our communities where there is no centralized beis din and each person can claim that he left a get with a beis din that he found for his agenda, means that get refusal has now become a win-lose situation for the husband. CRG was meant to keep it a lose-lose proposition.
The sudden obsession with CRG and HMR is not about debating the finer points of Halacha. It’s about wickedness and evil dressed up as an innocent discussion.

The elephant in the room of this “purely” Halachic discussion, is that the man is looking for a heter for polygamy because he is refusing a Get to his wife, but he’s unwilling to suffer the consequences in his own marital life.
He is handing her a living death sentence and guilty of violating tens of aveiros chamuros along the way. The hypocricy and self-delusion of caring about CDG while ignoring the foundations of what a Jew is all about, is astounding.
Let’s not minimize this that it’s about being a “mench.” This is about the basics of Torah.
A common aspect of almost all cults is a disregard for the quality of life of women and children. Typically, absolute power is held by a man or a few men. The voices of all others, notably women and children, are completely silenced. Child brides, poor to non-existent children’s education and denying basic human dignity of women and children is often the common denominator.
In this light, there are religions that are also cults.
