Marriage and Divorce

Home / The rabbinical court ordered my wife to accept a “get” from me after it was proved to them that she had been having an affair with another man. She consistently refuses to obey their order. I feel I have a worthless judgment. Is this true, or is there something that I can do ?

No, you do not have a worthless judgment. You can apply to the rabbinical court for a restrictive order against your wife, under the 1995 Rabbinical Court (Implementation of Divorce Judgment) Order. The same principles apply to a woman who defies the order as to a man defying an order. The only difference is that the procedure is more stringent regarding the most ultimate sanction,jail, because of the usual need for the woman to be at home taking care of the children/family.
