The election of new chief rabbis in Israel presents an opportunity to address the issue of get-refusal, where husbands refuse to grant their wives a religious divorce. Halachic prenuptial agreements have proven effective in preventing get-refusal, but they are not mandatory. Rabbis must ensure that couples sign these agreements to protect women from becoming mesuravot get. Alternative organizations like Chuppot, which officiates weddings outside the chief rabbinate's framework, make prenups mandatory. The new chief rabbis can prevent future cases of get-refusal by requiring the halachic prenup.
