Am I entitled to divorce my wife under Jewish law because she makes fun of me in front of our children, shouts and humiliates me in front of family and friends? She has even started throwing objects at me .
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 13 June, 2022Yes, such behaviour is a transgression of Jewish law, and a ground for divorce. However, if you forgive your wife, either explicitly or implicitly by continuing to live with her and having intimate relations, you cannot then rely on her previous transgressions as grounds upon which you ask the rabbinical court to order her to accept a “get” (divorce).
