Sign a prenup and help put an end to the agunah problem!

An agunah is a woman whose husband refuses to give her a get (Jewish divorce document) upon request. Refusal to give a get is a form of abuse, and occurs throughout the religious spectrum of the Jewish community. In response to this problem, leading rabbis across America and Israel encourage all Jewish couples to sign a prenuptial agreement prior to their wedding. Although for the majority of couples this agreement will never need to be used, its universal institution is necessary for it to truly be successful, and to be helpful for those couples who may need it. Only when it is routine that all marrying couples sign a prenuptial agreement will the agunah problem be dramatically reduced. Signing a prenuptial agreement will take five minutes of your time and can save countless women from becoming agunot.
