Marriage, no matter the religion, is a mixing of church and state, and therefore any and all related contracts should be seen as available for the state to intervene on.<br />Interestingly, there are some things for which a woman can get a Get without the husband's permission, such as if he cannot "preform his marital duties". <br />Tyler Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12201835260110186685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606201113344523885.post-30967621624655588072013-10-30T10:39:36.788-04:002013-10-30T10:39:36.788-04:00I agree with Liz that the state has a compelling s...I agree with Liz that the state has a compelling state interest. I'm all for free exercise until it starts to infringe about the civil liberties or safety of others. I think it's complicated because the controversy is within a single tradition, but I still think the state has an interest in protecting people even from members of their own religious community.

I understand that the more conservative and formative Jewish sects prefer to be more of a isolated society, and handle issues how they see fit; however, they are still American citizens and still have to abide by the federal laws. I do think that the Prenup would be a step in the right direction in protecting the rights of the minorities involved.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095335262232690097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606201113344523885.post-65773680180643107072013-10-29T20:48:12.881-04:002013-10-29T20:48:12.881-04:00I agree with Cori completely.

There is obviously a compelling state interest in stopping violence between people. One must also consider that allowing this violence could start the slippery slope leading to human sacrifice so the correct action would be to end the violence quickly.Adam Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16052278338150494609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606201113344523885.post-6999020455008700912013-10-28T21:49:09.033-04:002013-10-28T21:49:09.033-04:00In this post, are these hasidic Jews?

I'm only asking because of the conversation we had in class the other day stating that these hasidic communities are pretty much autonomous and rely on their own court systems to avoid the government possibly infringing on their rights. In this case, I agree with the other commenters and I do believe there is a compelling state interest for the government to act. If a woman feels trapped in her marriage and is publicly stating that and demanding help, I think the state should definitely intervene to preserve human rights and happiness. In addition, the state also has a responsibility to step in and prevent dangerous acts of violence. If this matter can be taken to civil courts and decided by the government, that is much more favorable than beating someone until they "choose" to change their mind.

There is a compelling state interest against torture and kidnapping, I'm pretty sure there is. This is a issue in the Jewish tradition, but when kidnapping and torture comes into play the state has no choice but to intervene. Those rabbis should have went about the situation a different way before breaking laws to make a statement.

The government has a compelling state interest in protecting contracts, whether they are religious or not. <br />The violence is trickier. I understand that it is part of the Jewish tradition but in this case, there is also compelling state interest to diffuse/oppose violent actions. I think the state has to intervene.Cori Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016173590431873336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606201113344523885.post-34521002958361731302013-10-27T23:48:27.400-04:002013-10-27T23:48:27.400-04:00Judaism is a religion deeply rooted in history and...Judaism is a religion deeply rooted in history and tradition. However, I do believe that the state has a compelling interest and, thus, should stop the violence. The Jewish people have their own laws and lifestyle that they have the right to abide by until they violate the civil rights of others. Religious communities have the right to function within their own boundaries, but are not permitted to infringe upon the rights of other people, including their own members.
