	Artificial Feeding
		For example, the Mishna Berura (330:1) cites the Sefer Chassidim, which says that a woman in her ninth month of pregnancy should prepare on Friday whatever might be necessary for her in the event that she begins labor on Shabbat.
		An individual suggested to Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski (Teshuvot Achiezer 3:61) that even artificial feeding on Yom HaKippurim should be forbidden because it satisfies the patient's hunger.
		Rav Chaim Ozer argues that since the Torah records that Hashem fed us the manna to satisfy our hunger, we see that only oral ingestion of food satisfies hunger.

		Obviously, they had a perfect right to dispute R' Chaim Ozer's heter; and that being the case, it's not for the kosher consumer to decide between these different opinions - the only thing one can do is to ask his or her LOR which opinion to follow.
		Other rules may come into play, such as not standing out from the rest of the community, or not undermining the authority of the community's chosen rabbi, but let's get back to the original topic, that of various competing hechsherim.

		And IMO, Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski would agree that I was in the right.
		I am sure that Rav Chaim Ozer would appreciate that his heter was not accepted by the major Poskim of the subsequent generation, and he would therefore applaud anyone who rejected his position.
		But why would anyone be embarrassed to look Rav Chaim Ozer in the eye after 120 years and tell him sincerely with all due respect I did not follow your heter.

		On the contrary, the charedim of Israel were attempting to divorce themselves from the Zionist movement, and to negotiate a separate and peaceful settlement with the Arabs and British, until the political assassination of the Dutch Ba’al Teshuvah, Dr. Yaakov DeHaan.
		Also, in Rav Chaim Ozer’s letters to Rav Sonnenfeld, he always addressed the Rav as “An Av Beis Din in The Holy City of Jerusalem.” The Chafetz Chaim, as we know from several witnesses, saw in the return to the land, the beginning of the redemption process.
		Zonnenfeld was, in fact, “an Av Beis Din [Chief of a Rabbinical Court] in The Holy City of Jerusalem,” Rav Chaim Ozer [Grodzinski]’s reference to him as such is hardly surprising, and reflects no political slant.

		Thus, if other lenient considerations exist, such as if a witness to the wedding ceremony was unqualified to serve as a witness or if the husband is missing and possibly may be dead, one may rule leniently and permit the woman to remarry.
		An example of such a lenient ruling is found in Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinki's Teshuvot Acheizer I:27).
		It should be emphasized that Rav Chaim Ozer had other reasons to issue a lenient ruling besides the "Kiddushei Ta'ut" factor.

	Kidushei Taut
		Between the other considerations and the lighter status of rabbinical prohibitions, a rabbi might rule leniently and permit the woman to remarry in such a case.
		Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski (Teshuvot Acheizer 1:27), for example, combined other lenient considerations with the possibility of kiddushei ta'ut, in a case where it seems clear that he would not have permitted the woman to remarry solely based on kiddushei ta'ut.
		These authorities believe that one should not interpret the phrase "nicha lah b'chol d'hu" as meaning that a woman will literally marry "any" man. Rather, there are some men who are actually considered less than kol d'hu (minimal).

		The Chofetz Chaim, then the acknowledged elder sage of world Jewry, sat on the steps outside the bais hamidrash where the eulogies were being conducted (a Kohen, he could not enter) and was heard to lament, after reciting the names of gedolim who had recently passed on, "And now Reb Meir Simcha is also gone...

		Additionally, while gedolim such as R. Hayyim Ozer Grodzinski referred to R. Hirsch as "the Gaon, and scholar", R. Hayyim did not support Tum outside of Germany, feeling that it was a particular solution to the particular problem of modernity in Germany, rather than a model that should be adopted by Orthodoxy in general.

		The Chafetz Chaim writes, if Hashem destroyed the Beis Hamikdash because of sinas chinam and lashon hara, evil gossip, all the more so He won't permit it to be rebuilt if we have not cured ourselves of these spiritual maladies.2
		The Chafetz Chaim, who made a career of guarding his speech from lashon hara and campaigned his entire life for shemiras halashon, was talkative by nature.
		It is speculation, but perhaps it was due to the Chafetz Chaim's vigilance with shemiras halashon and his constant devotion to learning Torah that he merited to live well into his nineties.

		Consider the case of the man who is deathly ill, hides this fact from his fiancee, dies soon after the wedding and leaves only a brother who is 6 months old to do chalitza.
		As noted by Rabbi Chaim Berlin (Even Shoham, Kuntress Haagunot), this states a strong case in that in such a circumstance, one is fairly certain that this woman would not agree to marry this man. 41.
		However, I believe that Rabbi Feinstein is less inclined to consider defects in the woman to be relevant for kidushai ta'ut than defects in the man, as defects in the woman can be grounds to compel her to receive a get, thus reducing the need for this rationale.
