I'm sorry I only found out about this several months late. I hope and pray to Hashem that Lonna Kin receives or has received the Get she so deserves. How can this twisted and sick person be allowed to do such a thing?!! She deserves to be given whatever was written in the Get that was agreed upon when she got married originally. May g-d be with her.

First, Meir Kin is allowed to take a second wife for many reasons. He divorced his first wife (civilly) and deposited a GET at a Beit Din. His requests for money is for the damages his wife caused which is reasonable. Ten years of civil divorce litigation, slander, accusation, and more would easily cost $500,000 or more. This is not extortion, but just paying for damage, See Talmud Baba Kama. For Meir Kin to want to choose his own Beth Din is also perfectly legitimate. A Nitva (respondent) has the right to choose his own Beth Din. Whether or not Meir Kin has a Heter Meah Rabbanim (permission from 100 Rabbis) does not really matter that much as the Takanah (ruling) of Rabbi Gershon ran out in 1976 because a Takanah is law for only a thousand years.

What a disgraceful twisting of halacha. Since her husband refuses to fulfill his obligation honorably, another bet din should intervene and grant Lonna Kin a hafka'at kiddushin so she may move on with her life in dignity.
