I am considering divorcing , second time round at the rabbinate . Am I obliged to provide my wife with accommodation if we are still officially married ? We both own apartments.
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 16 May, 2022Accommodation is one of the elements in a woman’s maintenance that a husband is supposed to provide his wife with. If your wife has an apartment which is available for her use, then her accommodation needs are catered for, If, however, her apartment is rented out , and not available, but she gets rental income from it, then this amount can be deducted from the maintenance she is entitled to. The same result can be reached even if the apartment is not rented out – the potential rental income can be established and can be deducted from the maintenance she is entitled to.
