Kiddushin expropriation
What is the Rabbi's position regarding regulations for confiscating kiddushin (to solve the problem of agunot)?
Is there a problem of authority? Does any institution currently have the authority to amend a regulation so that in any case 'everything that is sanctified by the rabbis is sanctified' and the sanctifications will be forfeited? Or is there no need to amend but to create agreement and in any case the condition exists?
Is it more a matter of halakhic policy? For example, what is brought up is that in all the regulations of the Sages, the forfeiture of a divorce is an invalid divorce that has been made kosher by their regulation. This is not a principled argument, but the idea is to preserve the form of the consecration and expulsion according to the Torah… Does the Rabbi agree or believe that based on the decisions of the courts, it is possible to determine situations in which the consecration will be forfeited?
(The same question exists regarding other solutions that have been proposed over the generations, such as a condition at the Kiddushin (which resolves the first question), or alternatively granting a conditional divorce at the time of the Kiddushin…)
