	Bet Din
		The bet din, literally translated as "house of judgement," originated during the period of the Second Temple, and was known as the Sanhedrin.
		The bet din belongs essentially to the period of the Second Temple, and its establishment is attributed to the prophet Ezra.
		A bet din is still used today voluntarily by Jews to settle disputes within the community, for conversion, and the validation or nullification of marriage and divorce documents.

		Finally, the role of Bet Din is restoring marital harmony (shalom bayit) to which the Nachlat Shiva also refers, should not be ignored at a time of high divorce rates.
		The gist of this section of the agreement is the binding acceptance of rabbinic arbitration before a Bet Din of marital disputes when the husband and wife are not living together.
		It does not follow from the fact that Bet Din is the appropriate tribunal to hear marital property disputes that the parties cannot themselves agree to financial arrangements other than those prescribed by the halakha in the absence of an agreement.

		By contrast, the identity of members of a secular court or a bet din is always known to the litigants and the public.
		For these reasons, among others, the Jerusalem regional bet din of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel voided the action of the RCA and demanded that the RCA proceed to a din Torah before a competent bet din.
		It’s bad enough that the RCA rebuffed the bet din; what’s even worse is the flippant manner in which the rebuff was delivered.

		The Bet Din, in unmistakably clear language emphasized that it is prohibited for an investigative committee such as the Vaad Hakavod to take any action which can cause or bring about the dismissal of a rabbi in the Jewish community and that any such action must be taken through an independent bet din.
		The Jerusalem Bet Din explained that its decision was in the nature of a preliminary injunction intended to preserve the status quo until such time as a competent bet din dealt with the merits.
		And this is why the RCA rebuffed and continues to rebuff the Bet Din of Jerusalem which has twice ordered the imposition of halachic discipline by requiring the use of a bet din where the actions of an investigative committee could cause or bring about damage to the accused.

		Another possibility is agency: constituting the bet din as the agent of a husband for the purposes of delivery of a document of divorce.
		Very recently, a bet din has been established in New York, consisting of three Rabbis (of whom one is a distinguished academic, Professor Emanuel Rackman) who have taken the route of retrospective annulment of the marriage (hafka'at kiddushin).
		If the woman had known, at the time of entering into the marriage, that the character of the husband was so flawed that he was capable of denying her a divorce despite the decision of a bet din that he should grant one, she would not have entered into the marriage at all.
