 | There are opinions that after the fact, if the entire beit din did not witness the t'vilah, the conversion is still valid, provided that the kabbalat hamitzvot [acceptance of the mitzvot] was in the presence of a beit din. |
| When I converted, I asked the beit din what they do in the case of a woman, and they told me that the procedure is the same. |
| In spite of the fact that we all know that the objective halachic reality may be that there is no difference between one beit din and another, one would be well advised to seek out a beit din which is representative of the community with which one anticipates an affiliation. |

| The Beth Din of America, for example, requires parties to enter into a legally binding arbitration agreement [shtar birurim] in accordance with New York law CPLR §75 and also presents the parties with a brochure of its Rules and Procedures prior to each hearing so that the parties are fully aware of their procedural rights. |
| The best way to ensure that such a beit din hears the divorce case is for couples to stipulate in their pre-nuptial agreement that in the event of a dispute, upon divorce, they will submit to a particular beit din which both parties deem acceptable. |
| It is a requirement of batei din to preserve the dignity of beit din and not allow the institution of beit din to be abused by such unscrupulous individuals. |
