In honor of the “Jewish day of love,” Tu B’Av, the Tzohar Rabbinical Organization reports that there is increasing public interest in its halachic prenuptial agreement.
Tu B’Av is observed today, which is the 15th day of the Jewish month of Av.
The Heskem B’Ahava, or “Agreement of Love,” was introduced in 2015 in order to prevent legal and halachic, or Jewish legal, obstacles in the event of the dissolution of a marriage.
Nearly 2,000 couples have signed the Agreement of Love contract before their weddings since its launch, with many more inquiring about it in recent months.
“Every couple who goes under the chuppah deserves to play a part in addressing the growing problem of people trapped by their spouses because of the absence of these types of agreements,” says Rabbi Uri Ganzel, director of the Heskem B’Ahava program in a statement. “So by signing on, a couple is able to help make this process more mainstream and combat that trend with the hope that it will one day be completely eradicated from our society.”
