 Though young in years, ibn Habib was well known for his erudition and scholarship in all areas of the Torah.However, his primary expertise was in the area of the laws of marriage and divorce and particularly in the thorny areas of the laws dealing with agunot ('anchored or chained' women).He authored two works in this area, "Get Pashut" and "Ezrat Nashim", which remain standard references in these area to this day.
