Because a mother so fears for her daughter's well-being, she mayrelent to divorce demandsof the husband if he will drop the arrangement. The Times interviewed rabbis who called the practice disgusting and abhorrent, but valid. @in July, a judge in Denver ruled that a mother and her current boyfriend could have temporary custody of her 8-month-old twin girls, even though DNAtests revealed that the boyfriend and the woman’s estranged husband each fathered one, but not both, of the girls.
