abstract="This research note addresses how ultra-Orthodox Jewish women in Israel coping with intimate partner violence experienced the spouse selection process. In-depth semistructured qualitative-phenomenological interviews were conducted with 17 women. Four major themes emerged: (a) &quot;The matchmaker seemingly fell asleep on her watch&quot;; (b) The parents' mistakes; (c) &quot;The rabbi told me to jump into the water. Now he should hand me the paddles to get out!&quot; The rabbi's role; and (d) &quot;That's it. . . I follow it blindly&quot;: The system. The findings add to the professional knowledge about violent partnerships in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community in Israel.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
