 Abstract:  Agunah Inc., also known as Agunah International, is an organization that provides assistance to women whose husbands refuse to grant them Jewish divorces, causing the women to become agunot (chained women) and unable to remarry according to Jewish law. The collection consists of a pamphlet entitled "Agunah Inc. Replies to the Beth Din of America," written by Susan Aranoff in response to criticism and condemnation of it by the Beth Din of America, an Orthodox rabbinic court serving the Jewish community of North America.
