Testimonials from couples who have signed the Agreement for a Just & Fair Marriage
Jonathan Howard and Lior Shapira
The signing of the Agreement was clearly an item on our wedding checklist. As much as the wedding hall. Divorce can be painful, cruel and dirty, and it is not always possible to know how the other side will respond if the marriage unravels. We were glad to be able to ameliorate a painful processes while we're still happy, in love, and want the best for each other. Hopefully, we'll never need to use it.
Appointing an Agent for Agunah Prevention
For married couples during wartime
This halakhic document authorizes an agent ("shaliach") to write and deliver a get in the event a married man is unable to do so himself—if he is, God forbid, taken captive in war, is in a coma or has suffered irreparable cognitive impairment.
Every married man should sign such a document before going out to war. It could potentially prevent his wife from spending the rest of her life as an agunah, God forbid.
This halakhic document was crafted under the guidance of halakhic authorities and is to be signed in the presence of two kosher witnesses.
