The Orthodox generally do not consider non-O marriages to be halachically

The proof is that if the marriage splits up, and they are asked to
pasken (make a halachic ruling) regarding whether or not a get is required,
the answer is generally no. The reason for taking this approach (as I
understand) is that most/many non-O Jews are not going to seek a get ...


The Rabbinical Assembly -- sort of a C rabbi's union -- has adopted
a very few Standards of Practice. A standard of practice, if
violated, gets the rabbi kicked out of the RA and so is taken very
seriously. One standard is to never perform a marriage where at
least one of the couple has been divorced and she did not receive
or he did not grant a get.
