Question

Did the Rabbi carry out an annulment of a married couple’s marriage?
On Wikipedia it says he did. Is that true?
Quote:
Dr. Abraham was a one-time member of a panel of a private religious court for family-status matters, headed by Rabbi Daniel Sperber, which was established in Jerusalem in 2018 at the initiative of the organization “Center for Women’s Justice.” The court is an elective forum that rules on matters of personal status when asked to do so by litigants who come before it. The court’s main purpose is to provide relief to agunot and women refused a bill of divorce by using the halakhic practice of retroactively annulling the marriage. The court, together with Rabbi Haim Amsalem, permitted the marriages of two women who had been refused a bill of divorce, Tzvia Gorodetsky and Oshrat Ben-Haim. In both cases, the rabbinical courts rejected the rulings[4][5].
 

Answer

Annulment is not expropriation. I am far too insignificant to assume that every man who betroths a woman does so subject to my view. Annulment means finding a flaw in the marriage act, or understanding that this was a mistaken transaction, and the like.
