I have discovered that my wife has been cheating on me for sometime now. I cannot accept her behaviour, and don’t want to forgive her. Can I get a divorce at the rabbinical court ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 13 June, 2022Yes, adultery is a recognisable ground for divorce under Jewish law.
If your wife does not want to divorce, but you do and file for it at the
rabbinical court, you will need to produce evidence, unless of course she
admits to it, which is rare.
Alternatively, if your wife agrees to divorce, you can proceed to work on a comprehensive settlement covering finance, child custody etc.
