This report examines the resolution of problematic Jewish divorce cases (gittin) within the American Jewish community during the 1950s. The study analyzes five representative "hard-core" cases where husbands refused to grant their civilly divorced wives a religious divorce (get), creating significant personal distress and preventing remarriage within Jewish law. The methodology involved establishing a full-time consultant through the Rabbinical Assembly to address both cases involving the new ketubah (marriage contract) implemented in 1954 and pre-existing non-ketubah cases. Various intervention strategies were employed, including community mediation, family pressure, religious authority, and the threat of legal action under the new ketubah provisions. The findings demonstrate that the revised ketubah proved highly effective, with one recalcitrant husband immediately complying upon mention of legal consequences. For non-ketubah cases, success was achieved through persistent personal contact, community intervention, strategic deception, and leveraging social and religious influences. The study concludes that systematic intervention by dedicated religious authorities, combined with enhanced legal mechanisms in marriage contracts, significantly improves resolution rates for contested Jewish divorce cases, alleviating human suffering while maintaining religious law compliance.
