Israel - Twenty years after disappearing and leaving his children and his wife as an "agunah", a French Jewish man has been located in an Israeli jail and has agreed to give his wife a Get (divorce).
All these years, the husband now 45, resided in Israel and in Europe. In Israel he served six jail sentences, and is now serving his seventh after being convicted of property and violence offenses.
The man's son is studying in a yeshiva in Israel, and after the family received information that the missing husband was in jail, the yeshiva's rabbis turned to the Israel Prison Service's chief rabbi, Yehuda Yekutiel Vizner, and asked for his help in locating the father.
Rabbi Vizner managed to locate the prisoner and persuade him to give his wife a divorce. Other rabbinical judges arrived at the court, got the man declare that he was giving his wife a divorce and to sign the divorce papers, and the woman was finally released from marriage.
After signing the divorce papers, the prisoner was visited by his son. The two, who had not seen each other for 20 years, shed many tears during the visit. [Ynet]
