An Orthodox Jewish mother was denied a divorce by her husband despite being raped, beaten and tortured throughout the marriage.
"Rivky Stein, 25, told the Brooklyn Supreme Court that she has been unable to move on with her life after her estranged husband, Yoel Weiss, 33, refused to give her a ‘get,’ a divorce decree under Jewish law.
According to Stein, she was raped, punched in the stomach while she was pregnant and locked outside of her home when it was freezing cold outside. She also claimed Weiss starved her and their two young children.
The civil case is being heard to determine the custody of the couple’s children, child support payments and alimony for Rivky. Her attorney, Michael Stutman, had the following to say:
“We are fighting for our clients right to raise her children, not live in fear and find the happiness that she deserves.”
Stein was interviewed by Daily Mail Online last June, where she opened up about being raped on her wedding night at the age of 18 and being tortured throughout the marriage.
“I didn’t have anywhere to go back to. He had cut me off from my family and my friends. He monitored my phone. Everything was controlled, I couldn’t reach out to family and I was also ashamed. And I was scared what he would do,” she said in the interview.
“So I thought, that’s it, I’m screwed, this is what I have to deal with now. And that all started from the beginning.”
Stein also said that when she tried to get help from the rabbi’s no one would listen.
“I would ask them what I should do and if I had permission to call the police. They told me that I can’t. They wouldn’t give me permission to.”
Mr. Weiss’ attorney maintains that there is no evidence of abuse and criminal charges have not been filed against his client.
While the New York City Courts cannot grant Rivky a ‘get’ (which under Jewish law can only be granted by a husband and through a rabbinical court), Judge Esther Morgenstern has put pressure on the man to give his ex-wife the Jewish law degree.
Without the document, while Rivky and her husband can be divorced in the eyes of the state, under Jewish law Rivky remains an ‘agunah’ or chained woman and cannot remarry under Jewish law.
