One Israeli Jewish woman writes in YNet:
"The State of Israel chose to grant power to a religious-Orthodox minority, which determines the fate of the country's women, when it granted, by law, exclusive authority to religious representatives to rule on matters of marriage and divorce, where women almost never enjoy the upper hand. We must recall that those same rabbinical courts comprise men only; women can never be judges, even though every matter handled by the court involves women...
In our enlightened country, a Jewish man can marry another woman instead of his wife, as long as he provides a document that shows that his semen is adequate for making children, and then it can be said the problem lies with the woman. Then, the rabbis rule that as the woman is not fertile, the man can marry another woman."
