Three young married women trapped in religious courts. They can't get a divorce because the court needs their husband's consent in order to grant one. Dependant on their husbands' whim, they know not when release will finally come. They are denied other relationships and are condemned to be barren, because a married woman is forbidden to another man. In Israel, a democratic country of the 21 st century, their pain and suffering is embedded in the law. Being young and anonymous, their voices are silenced. For two years the film follows the Kafkaesque struggle of Tamara, Michelle and Rachel - three young women doing all that is humanly possible to obtain a divorce, with the help of a group of female orthodox rabbinical advocates PRIZES & AWARDS:
From the Jury's statement: "…A brave film, made with passion and commitment, that cries out against injustice, and which like some of the best documentaries gives a voice to the voiceless. Thus it's with the greatest pleasure that we present the Wolgin Award for Documentary to "Sentenced to Marriage"by Anat Zuria." (Jury Statement, Jerusalem Film Festival, Israel, 2004 FILM FESTIVALS:
