Yehuda Hayisraeli suffered a sever head injury in 2014 during Operation protective Edge in Gaza. After a year in a coman, he is now doing much better, but has to undergo extensive rehab and will remain handicapped, and will have a very long period of recovery.

His wife, Rivka, has decided to go for a divorce, and he granted it to her, and everybody seems to have been very amenable about it. the rabbonim helped and were accommodating, Rivka went about in a way to not hurt, or as little as possible, Yehuda and his family, and Yehuda and his family granted it without trouble.

I have seen a lot of judgement online about her decision. That is the nature of social media, and if one puts his or her life out there in public on social media, one is setting oneself up for that judgement. The judgement I saw was extreme to both ends, either in support of her decision (though less of this type) and critical of her decision (much more of this, from what I saw).

All I would say about this is that she was put into an impossible situation, and no matter how she would have decided to proceed, her future life was destined to be difficult with tremendously difficult decisions for such a young person, a relative newlywed, to make. Decisions she might not actually even have been capable of dealing with or making. I would not judge her. She is in a no-win situation and nobody out there can possibly know how difficult this decision was for her to make, nor how difficult it would have been for her for the rest of her life to make the opposite decision.

I don't wish upon anybody the need to make such a decision.
