Subject: RE: Are Ketubahs meaningless today

I was deeply offended by a recent statement in Mail Jewish that since
people encourage waving the Ketuvah in court cases therefore women feel
as if they have no Ketubah (Since it has no legal bearing).

The fallacy in the above argument is equating all divorces with court
cases For each bitter divorce court battle there are probably 3-4
routine divorces that are mutually agreed to. Such divorces follow all
rules including paying the Ketubah.

I of course encourage remedying our current court situation---but I
wouldn't go so far as to say that we live in total divorce chaos
