"Celeb Begimist": Anger Against the Wedding of Shuli Rand and Scout Grant | Israel Today

2021-11-10T09:26:35.263Z


Nitzan Caspi Shiloni, director of the Women's Justice Center, protested against the possibility for men to marry two women with the permission of one hundred rabbis • After receiving harsh reactions: Rand was a woman he was stuck "


In the Jerusalem mountains, Shuli Rand and Scout Grant were married yesterday (Tuesday) in a discreet ceremony without telephone calls.

But alongside the masses who were interested and happy to hear about the singer and actor's wedding with a lost presenter, there was also a protest over the wedding, which was done in an unconventional and controversial way.

Rand received in a relatively unusual move permission to marry even though he is officially still married to Michal Rand, who refuses to grant him a divorce.

The court allowed Shuli Rand's "one hundred rabbis" to actually marry a second woman, even though he was apparently very happy to divorce Michal and be married to only one woman.

Those who made the decision angrily were activists in the field of divorce refusal, who are probably angry mainly at the fact that a man has the option to evade a divorce refusal, this is because a man has a theoretical halakhic possibility of marrying two women.

On the other hand, agunot women have no solution, and solutions that are found are rejected by the rabbinical court.

"I'm just under the impression that we live in a deranged place when every moment Push gets an exciting update from mainstream sites other than Guy Pines on the Bigmist celebrity marriage," Nitzan Caspi Shiloni, CEO of the Women's Justice Center, wrote on Twitter. Clarified that “I have no criticism of the persona Shuli Rand and he deserves to get married to the choice of his heart.

The implicit criticism is of the distorted and immoral system and system. "

Caspi wrote a series of tweets in which she reviewed the permit of one hundred rabbis "and a legal bigamy in Israel," and again claimed that she did not oppose the specific wedding.

"The criticism is in any case not of the persona Shuli Rand, who apparently suffered from his first wife's refusal to divorce. Unless her husband gives her a divorce. "

Dr. Tomer Persico also referred to Shuli Rand's wedding and criticized the fact that he was actually married to two women. "Shuli Rand is married to two women.

Yes, I understand he's not interested in being married to Michal Rand.

Yes, I'm in favor of allowing him to get a divorce quickly and without problems.

Yes, I also wish him and Scout Grant a lot of happiness and health.

I protest against one thing: discrimination under the law in the State of Israel between men and women, "Persico wrote.

"The Penal Code in Israel prohibits polygamy and sets a 5-year prison sentence. The same law also allows for one exception: a Jewish man can get a permit to marry another woman. Only a man, only a Jew. Only this miraculous creature gets this exception. The one who gives the permit is the main rabbinate".

"I have no interest in encouraging polygamy, so I am not in favor of Muslim and Christian men receiving such a permit. In any case, their divorce laws are not as problematic as ours. But what this permit allows Jews is to ignore the plight of thousands of women who refuse divorce in Israel. They are men, and they have no problem. Refuse? Do not worry man, get a permit. If Shuli Rand was a woman he would be stuck. "Israeli law allows for this vile discrimination," he wrote.
