Description

R. Yaakov Ettlinger is presented with the case of a woman who was seduced by an itinerant ascetic who claims to be Eliyahu Hanavi, sent from heaven to impregnate her with the future Mashiach. May this woman remain married to her husband? What sort of precedent does Esther provide? In short - is she considered a rape victim?
