Agunah

An Agunah is a Jewish woman who is considered "chained" because her husband refuses to grant her a Jewish religious divorce (a get). Without this divorce, she cannot remarry within Jewish law, which can leave her in a limbo—legally single but unable to move forward in her personal life. The situation is complex, often involving legal, religious, and emotional factors. Efforts are made within communities and legal systems to resolve these cases fairly, emphasizing the importance of mutual cooperation for a woman's spiritual and personal well-being.
