"The pain in my heart is deep as I remain in a state of perpetual waiting," said Rivka, 41, one of the women featured on the posters in the protest.
On Thursday, neighborhoods in southern Tel Aviv were plastered with posters of women. The posters detailed the women's names and the years they have been agunas, "chained women" who are being held hostage by their husbands in abusive marriages.
An aguna, or a Jewish woman being denied a get (divorce document) by her husband is not allowed to marry another man according to Halacha, Jewish law.
