Heter meah rabbanim

Heter meah rabbanim is a term in Jewish law which means that one hundred Rabbis agree with a beth din that a particular situation warrants an exemption to permit a man to remarry even though his wife refuses or is unable to accept a get. This solution is available for the man to remarry because according to Torah law, a man may be married to more than one woman, and even with the Heter, he is still considered married to the first woman. However, since a woman cannot be married to two men and must receive a bill of divorce according to Torah law in order to be considered single, there is no Heter to receive permission from 100 rabbis to remarry without a divorce.

Sephardic Jews
Ashkenazic Jews have followed Rabbeinu Gershom's ban since the beginning of the 11th century. Some Sephardi and Mizrachi (Oriental) Jews (particularly those from Yemen and Iran, where polygamy is a social norm) discontinued polygamy much more recently as they emigrated to countries where it was forbidden. The State of Israel has forbidden polygamous marriages and adheres to the ban, but instituted provisions for existing polygamous families immigrating from countries where the practice was legal. ==References==
