How can anyone have the right to appeal against someone else’s divorce? How can a Gett be at risk and even retroactively taken away? How can a woman never really feel that her status is secure after a divorce?
Yesterday, Dr Galit Shaul participated and spoke at a protest together with other women’s organizations, including members of Knesset outside the Supreme Court in Jerusalem.

but in summary, 3 years after she received her divorce, this poor woman, who dealt with a tragedy that left her husband in a coma – alive only because of machines – suddenly faced the real possibility of her Gett being taken away! All because ‘someone’ decided to take it to court and get involved in her life. As Galit said – this is a situation that sadly could effect anyone of us and is essentially everyone’s story. We have to make everyone know what is happening and show that we support this poor woman. We stand here together to protest that this is even possible and hope that this will change as soon as possible in the future.
