BACKGROUND:
Conservative Judaism has long been concerned with alleviating the plight of agunot. Through both its Committee on Jewish Law and Standards and its National Bet Din, it has instituted halakhic solutions to aid agunot such as the inclusion of the “Lieberman Clause” in ketubot; the utilization of hafka’at kiddushin by the National Bet Din; and the recommendation of pre-nuptial agreements stipulating the requirement of a get should the marriage be dissolved.
