PS
Have you ever read the Catholic Doctrine on marriage? It is the reason Terri Schiavo is dead right now.
I can certainly understand your frustration as someone who wants Judaism to be fruitful and multiply. Nevertheless there seems to be something seriously wrong with a system in which a criminal husband can extort money from a woman to get a divorce. See the link below regarding the lengths couples in Israel are going to so as to avoid being stuck in a marriage that is not working. Also note, that the rabbis are not doing what they could to prevent such extortion by making sure that the classic Jewish marriage contract is drawn up before marriage.
