So much for Orthodox Jews resisting the scourge of feminism. It sounds like they figure the wife should have a divorce on demand like other faithless skanks, and getting the manâ€™s permission is just a formality.

The story here is about 2 corrupt rabbis who got divorces for women for money, not ideology. So I don't see how one can make any general statement about Orthodox Judaism based on this.
