Usage: The term "shilluchah" or "sheluchah" primarily refers to the act of sending away or dismissal, often used in the context of divorce. It denotes the formal process of a husband sending away his wife, as seen in the legal and social customs of ancient Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, marriage was a covenantal relationship with significant social and legal implications. The act of divorce, or "sending away," was a serious matter, often involving a written document known as a "get" (גֵּט). The process was governed by Mosaic Law, which provided regulations to protect the rights of both parties, especially the woman, who could be vulnerable in such situations. The cultural context emphasized the sanctity of marriage while also acknowledging human fallibility and the need for legal recourse in cases of marital breakdown.
