In Israel, hundreds of women like Sarah, Noa, and Oshrat remain trapped in marriages, denied divorce for years by their husbands and the rabbinic courts.
Their freedom hinges on outdated laws and patriarchal traditions. Batya Kahana Dror, a religious yet defiant lawyer, challenges the Orthodox Jewish courts, believing that laws must evolve with modern times.
Fighting tirelessly for these women’s rights, Batya becomes a beacon of hope in a system that resists change.
This poignant and inspiring story highlights the intersection of faith, justice, and feminism in a battle for freedom against deeply entrenched traditions.

That's why I left Judaism
WARNING-Not in English. To bad its not listenable.😕
But when these women got married, they no longer knew what the terms of the marriage were. Think of the husband who got married thinking he would never leave because the marriage contract guaranteed it.
Unable to watch most is not subtitled for English
Why did the man died suddenly?
oh wow
Ce documentaire est une honte
Why watcht it if it's not possible to understand ?
❤😮
no sympathy
Only one division of law adminsitration duties being done by law officials including lawyers inside law court buildings which needs reform. However, when Netanyahu called for law reform then a whole lot of protesting in Israel began leading to him having to postpone seeing the follow through on that sort of thing called law reform. Next as result too Netanyahu ended up in jail when perhaps he then got to maybe or maybe not later get to hear from a Mr. Putin in the same kind of jail house too. Mr. Putin the divorcee among many divorced men. Who do seem to have a kind of advantage which nobody in the world seems brave enough to talk about openly except for people like Mr. and Mrs. Netanyahu.
