I filed for maintenance at the rabbinical court but lost as my husband persuaded the religious judges there that I was having an affair. They then ordered me to accept a divorce from him. Am I still entitled to maintenance at the family court in the meantime?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 16 May, 2022No! Once a rabbinical court rules that a wife has committed adultery then she loses her right to maintenance from her husband completely. It is final and she will be prevented from being entitled to maintenance at the family court even if she actually opens a file there.
