An aguna or agunah (Hebrew: עֲגוּנָה, romanized: ʿaḡunā, lit. 'anchored or chained [woman]', plural: עֲגוּנוֹת, ʿaḡunoṯ) is a Jewish woman who is stuck in her marriage as determined by traditional halakha (Jewish law). The classic case is a man who has left on a journey and has not returned or has gone into battle and is missing in action.
