In Jewish law, one must secure a religious divorce (a get) to end a marriage. This process requires the consent of the male party, opening the process to \u201cget abuse\u201d, or the withholding of a get. Moreover, Jewish divorce processes are \u201clegal\u201d processes, undertaken by religious tribunals, so standard legal theories have been applied to them. These two systems are inherently entangled as different persons negotiate both systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"u-block u-block--white\">\n<div class=\"l-post u-width-small\">\n<p>This project is multidisciplinary in its formulation and central research question. In collaboration with my research partner, Deidre Butler, Associate Professor, Religion, FASS, we arrive at an original theoretical construct we term \u201ctroubling orthopraxies\u201d, which substantively engages the civil, Jewish legal, and customary variables we have identified as core to our research.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20175\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/betina-240x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/betina-240x168.jpg 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/betina-160x112.jpg 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/betina-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/betina-400x281.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/betina.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/110\/betina-360x253.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure><p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Award: Insight Development Grants support research in its initial stages.
