Summary:

A Jewish prenuptial agreement, formulated by Rabbi Mordechai Willig, and sponsored by The Orthodox Caucus, has been created in an effort to help resolve the problem of the agunah-the woman who has not been issued a get (a bill of divorce) from her husband and thus remains unable to marry someone else. This volume explores this fascinating subject more closely through commentary by several prominent rabbis.
