Apr 7 at 20:24 comment added josh waxman is marriage a mere business contract? Does the Temple altar weep when the first business contract between two partners is canceled? Why doesn't Gittin 90b say this? Also, not every bill of divorce is given with the woman shouting that she will not accept the get.
Aug 7, 2018 at 5:07 comment added SAH "A cherem is an expression of the wish that the person should die because of this sin." Could you say more? Who wishes who should die? Is the death supposed to happen at G-d's hands kv yachl? ..And what about in the case of cherems on things that are not otherwise sins (such as others of Rabbeinu Gershom)?
Nov 9, 2017 at 1:21 comment added mevaqesh Claiming that it is onaat devarim seems quite weak. Marriage is a contract that imposes restrictions upon both parties. If I wish to end a business contract, and the other parties feelings would be hurt, am I required to suffer monetarily or otherwise? Furthermore, according to many authorities onaat devarim is only where you specifically mean to hurt someone. Clearly not every divorce is included in this category.
