A mesorevet get, who has been living apart from her husband for seven years, arrived at the Beit Din Hagadol with a large belly, in her eighth month of pregnancy. She met an immigrant several years after her separation, and has been living with him for five years.....
during which time she has been fighting to receive a get from her husband, who himself has been living with several other women. Despite the fact that there is no doubt that this couple will never again live together, the regional Beit Din has refused to rule that the father must give a get. During the appeal at the Beit Din Hagadol, during which time Mavoi Satum Legal Aid Director Gitit Nachliel, representing the woman, was fearful that the pregnancy would cause a deterioration in her status, the opposite actually happened. The court, unaccustomed to such sights (and relieved that mamzerut was not an issue due to the non-Jewish fatherhood of the baby), ordered the husband to give an immediate get.
