Document Summary

Battle that goes on in terms of how involved women should be involved in religious practices. Judaism has been the most conservative in adapting to. Different denominations have different attitudes - orthodox-least willing to change traditional gender roles. Deuteronomy 24-1:4 - on the topic of divorce, man can kick out woman if he wants to. Rabbi"s make adjustments to this law, now women can divorce men as men can divorce women. Bible- man can divorce wife without her consent or financial compensation. Then in the talmud - institute the ketubah (marriage contract) which lists her rights in both the marriage and upon divorce (this protection for women by rabbis was revolutionary, it was a radical movement for women"s rights) Additionally, in the middle ages- the laws change again and now the women must consent to divorce. We still have the idea of the get where a man has to give her a divorce decree.
