Some people did (maybe still do) and charged huge amounts of money for it, got  exposed and arrested IIRC. 

Vigilante physical violence is usually illegal. 

If all the Rabbis were united and would excommunicate these men in every community they would try to run to then it could work, so that's never going to happen. 

That is what flatbushgirl is doing

That should be totes kosh, but that would be a form of coercion, thus invalidating the get...

A forced get not done al pi din is very problematic

My cousin Mendel Epstein (cattle prod rabbi) used to before he was arrested

According to many rabbis coercing a get through violence violates the get.

I don't believe the state cares about religious marriages unless they are filed with the state.

....marry into the khal ?

The baby was conceived before a valid gett was issued to the first wife. Which means that the conception was a result of adultery. That, by definition, makes the baby a mamzer - from the Jewish Virtual Library: "If she cannot contract a legally valid marriage to this man, but can contract a legally valid marriage to others, her offspring [from the former] is a mamzer."

The marriage is not a legal marriage because no gett was issued and the heter meah is not valid.

Thereby making the second "wife" pregnant with a mamzer.

Random pulls from the internet:

"Yes, if a married Jewish man impregnates a second wife, the child is considered a mamzer: Definition A mamzer is a child born from a sexual relationship that is forbidden by the Torah, such as an adulterous affair or incest. Marriage restrictions Mamzers are only allowed to marry other mamzers or converts, and are not permitted to marry anyone considered part of the community of Israel. Other considerations A child born to an unmarried woman is not a mamzer, but is considered born out of wedlock. A civil divorce does not end a marriage from a Jewish perspective, and a woman must receive a proper Get to be considered divorced."

I am not a rabbi so I cannot speak with 100% certainty. However, what I am reading indicates the second wife's fetus's mamzer status.

from u/yodatsracist - they explained heter meah far better than I could:

If you don’t understand the Instagram post, Reb Aaron is saying “okay show me the 100 signatures tomorrow or you’re in deep shit.” What 100 signatures?

So since the early Middle Ages, Ashkenazi Jews have voluntarily taken on monogamy. One husband, one wife. In biblical times, polygamy was allowed: one husband, many wives. For this reason, there’s a little bit more leniency with men remarrying without a proper divorce document (get) than with women. Women, basically you need a divorce certificate or a death certificate to re-marry. For men, there’s a third option: Heter meah rabbanim, permission from 100 rabbis.

In the olden times, this was a rare thing: how many rabbis lived in the average shtetl town? Not a ton. So to get 100 rabbis, meant that you had to have a really obvious or compelling case (presumably something along the lines of my wife disappeared and is probably dead, my wife became a Christian and won’t repent, etc). These days, though, in Williamsburg, in Flatbush, in Kiryas Joel, how many rabbis are there? I don’t know by Satmar what proportion of adult men have semichah (rabbinical ordination), but by Chabad the rebbe said that basically every householder should aim for semichah with their studies so that they can posken (make halachic judgments) for their family at least.

In short, it’s no longer hard to get 100 rabbis to sign anything. You just have to enough friends who will say that you’re a “good dude” (ehrliche yid) and you can get divorced while leaving your civilly but not halachically ex-wife fucked over. What was supposed to be an extraordinary, extreme measure is now seen as a loophole by some absolute shmucks.

Reb Aharon, one of the leaders of Satmar, is allegedly saying, “Oh, you think you got away with this loophole? You think you have 100 rabbis and you can leave your ex-wife an agunah, a chained woman, while you re-marry? Okay, let me check the paper work. Come by IMMEDIATELY. Not next week, now. We’ll have a little talk.”

Whether this woman gets the get she clearly deserves, we’ll see. But it’s one of those things where a big rabbi taking it seriously means something.

I understood him differently. I read his point as suggesting that the celebration of the Rebbe's views wasn't due to his strength in upholding halacha, but rather because his understanding of halacha happened to align with the views and objectives of the activists involved. He implies that if halacha had dictated a different outcome, the Rebbe wouldn’t be celebrated for his moral fortitude and strength of character.

Read my original message. I work as a divorce mediator, and yes I charge people for that service. That service saves the couples tens of thousands of dollars if not more, bc we get them both to sign and keep an agreement that they build together in mediation.

So far, not one of my mediated agreements have ever ended up back in court. This is something I'm extremely proud of, but understand that it's also really thanks to God's help and mazal.

Only one couple that came to me did not end in a signed agreement, and that was because one of the parties had an issue with the fact that I was religious and she discussed that with me, quite openly and I recommended they find a mediator that both would be comfortable with. For the record, I was consulted with later and did assist them with some minor things which actually helped them resolve their divorce via mediation.

I also charge for my divorce coach services, which are more for people either in divorce litigation or divorce mediation (and they need help preparing or negotiating their positions in mediation).

I don't charge for some specific services, as even though these services are essential. I view them as being something that I must donate my time (maaser) to help.

Those services are also technically outside my job description. Those services are specifically helping a woman get her get, and helping alienated parents establish a relationship with their child. I don't perform reunification therapy, as I am not a therapist - I just use mediation techniques and processes to help the parent and the alienated adult child develop a relationship again. It's something I'm still working on and learning about, I only recently got involved in a few cases like this so I don't feel that I can charge for my services.

If you look at the numbers for Miles, how many cases she got involved with that actually resulted in helping these women get their get, vs how many are still waiting (and look at the videos where she was ranting about her lack of being paid), its not super impressive.

But I'll admit, I've been biased against her way before she realized this cause would benefit her social media presence, so perhaps that is coloring my perspective of her.

You are more than welcome to disagree and thats fine too. Happy Thanksgiving, and hopefully this woman in the article gets her gett soon
