What are the possible consequences of someone having a foreign divorce judgment which has not been recognised in Israel where he lives ?
By: דיאנה שאלתיאל•Published on: 02 May, 2022Basically the fact that the foreign divorce has not been enforced or recognised in Israel will prevent a person from having the legal capacity to remarry under Israeli law, presuming he would be eligible to do so otherwise. If he did actually remarry he would be liable for prosecution for bigamy under the 1977 Penal Code.
