How Mental Illness Can Wreck a Marriage and a Divorce
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of mental illness on marriage and divorce, including halachic considerations and conflict resolution.
Is failure to disclose a significant personality disorder considered a mekach ta’us in marriage? Are there halachos guiding how to treat one’s spouse during divorce, especially in high-conflict cases? When is it appropriate to turn to secular courts during divorce proceedings – for example, to obtain a restraining order against a spouse? Can refusal to go to the mikveh be considered a halachic violation when used as a tool in marital conflict?
