Supreme Rabbinical Court to rule on controversial divorce case
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn a historic first, the Supreme Rabbinical Court is set to hold a hearing to judge on whether a rabbi in Safed was correct in ruling that a woman whose husband is in a coma can divorce him, the ultra-Orthodox news website Kikar HaShabat reports.
The woman was not given a get by her husband since he is in a coma, but Safed’s rabbinical court ruled that the woman can remarry and the rabbinical court gave her a get in the absence of one from her husband, according to Kikar HaShabat.
The Supreme Rabbinical Court will convene in order to rule on whether a rabbinical court can grant a divorce in place of a husband if the husband is not able to do so.
