A: You must prove in court that the loan was given, and that the loan money was designated and also reached her. In a Judgement issued on 30.5.24, the Family Court in Rishon LeZion (File # 33323-12-21), a similar claim by a woman in divorce proceedings was rejected, as part of a lawsuit filed by the mother-in-law (the husband’s mother) against the couple, for the return of a loan given to them. The family Court there found that the woman’s version that she did not know about the loan that the man received money from his mother or that she was not part of the recipient of the loan, is absurd given the fact that it was proven that the woman received a considerable amount from that loan directly into her bank account, she paid the interest and management fee repayments together with the man, she recognized in real time the loan as a joint debt of the couple, and even offered to “take on” a sum of 200,000 NIS to repay the debt, after the parties’ relationship had run aground.
