Which court has jurisdiction over property disputes between a man and a wife, the Druze court or the family one ?

If both parties agree the Druze Court can have jurisdiction but if this is not the case the family court will have jurisdiction. The concept of ‘binding’ property to the divorce plea at the Druze court, and the jurisdictional race to prevent the wife from filing for this separately at the family court , which exists with Jews , does not apply to Druze.
