Abstract:

Jewish law is normally characterized by a pluralist discourse and, even when controversies are acrimonious, the merits of competitive arguments are recognized and receive some legitimacy. By contrast, Jewish family law, especially in the case of marriage annulment, is characterized quite differently, patently diverging from the pluralist hermeneutic discourse normally characterizing Jewish law. This divergence is the subject of this article.From the work of early classic commentators to modern Jewish Law scholars, the character of marriage annulment in Jewish law has been much debated.

Abstract:

The article discusses different aspects of the marriage institution as practiced in the eighteenth and nineteenth century Istanbul by the Jewish community, which first and foremost adhered to the Jewish law but at the same time also followed the Romaniote customs embraced by the local Sephardic community from the sixteenth century and on. The article devotes extensive attention to the old Romaniote custom of betrothal gifts (sivlonot) and deals with the monogamy condition, the age of marriage of men and women, which had social and economic meaning.

Abstract:

The research deals with the problem of the marriage of a minor Jewish girl to an old man، through the novel "Fraim...Fraim" by the Israeli writer Shalom Darwish، who is of Iraqi origin. The research aims to identify how the writer expressed the concept of marriage of minors among the Jews. The study is divided into an introduction and three topics. The introduction introduces the writer and summarizes the events of the novel. The first section deals with the family’s motives for marrying off their young daughter to an older man. The second topic deals with the groom's family's motives for marr

Abstract:

The relationship between the system of civil matrimonial law and denominational and religious rights in the European context is quite clear to any lawyer because civil matrimonial law evolved from canon law, particularly Catholic canon law. The system of canon law influenced and shaped the thinking of legal scholars who formed civil matrimonial law, and this is also true of Protestant marriage. Jewish and Islamic marriage law, however, differs significantly from the Christian conception and is definitely contractual in nature. This study aims to compare the marriage law rules of Christianity,

Abstract:

A wife's right to divorce her husband does not exist in Jewish law, or so claims virtually every textbook on Jewish law. Over the years scholars have, of course, noted exceptions to this absolute assertion. In Jewish marriage contracts from Elephantine, for example, women have a right to divorce equal to that of men. Another example is the Gospel of Mark's logion on divorce, which apparently implies that either a woman or a man can initiate divorce procedures. Josephus, moreover, relates that Salome, King Herod's sister, sent her husband a bill of divorce. Mainstream scholarship has too often

Abstract:

AbstractThe Jewish marriage differs from the Catholic Christian marriage, which is an institution surrounded by the halo of a holy sacrament that cannot be nullified. It also differs from the Islamic marriage, which is closer to a legal agreement than to a sacrament, wherein the husband alone may annul the marriage, either unilaterally or by mutual consent. This is especially true of the Shi'ite marriage—themuta—which may be annulled without any divorce proceedings at a predetermined date. In this article, I present a little-known possible halakhic stipulation: temporary marriage. I consider i

Abstract:

In many churches nowadays, there has been a standardized approach to premarital counseling for couples involving social, pastoral, and psychological perspectives. In contrast, many rabbis and other Jewish officials still concentrate on legal aspects alone. The need for resolving important issues on the verge of wedlock is too often left to secular experts in law, psychology, or counseling. However, in recent years, this lack of formal training for marriage preparation has also been acknowledged by the Jewish clergy in order to incorporate it in the preparatory period before the bond is tied.

Abstract:

It is generally thought that the rule of religious law regarding marriage and divorce is a concession on the part of the State of Israel to religious interests. It is assumed that the religious population derives great satisfaction from the fact that the State ostensibly bows down to religious law, declining to exercise its jurisdiction on this matter. The non-observant citizen is widely considered the victim of this arrangement. He is forced to take part in a religious ceremony which is foreign to him and, in such an intimate realm of his life, must render himself of the services of a religio

A few decades ago, the idea of a Muslim woman marrying a non-Muslim man was inconceivable in Muslim communities. While Muslim men were able to marry from other faiths (Christian and Jewish), Muslim women, on the other hand, were not permitted to marry non-Muslims. This presentation examines the legal reasoning behind the law which forbids Muslim women from marrying outside their faith. The aim of this presentation is to unpack the arguments employed by Muslim jurists and exegetes throughout the ages which have allowed these laws to remain on the books until today.

Despite the law's longevity, many of the current requirements have their origins in past panics, tactical compromises or quick fixes.

Abstract:

This paper examines the concept of ‘transformative accommodation’, which the Archbishop of Canterbury invoked in his February 2008 lecture on ‘Civil and religious law in England’, stressing the need for both the state and religious communities to contemplate internal change. Although he made no substantive proposals on jurisdictional issues, this proved the focus of subsequent public comment. I suggest that jurisdictional issues cannot be avoided, despite the diplomatic interest in doing so, as may be seen from a reading of the January 2008 European Islamic ‘Charter of Values’.

Abstract:

From the age of the unfolding of feminist movements, the claim that the patriarchal concept of Christianity is responsible for the oppression of women in Europe has reappeared in the legal literature, too. It is a fact that natural law codes have not been able to ensure gender equality consistently either and it was not until the second half of the 20th century that the law of marriage was reformed in European states based on the principle of partnership. However, it is far from a fact that Christianity is to blame for the problems generally. In the following study, I present the concept of ma

Abstract:

Rabbinic responsa can at times furnish an entree into the private and public lives of individuals involved with the judicial system. The case under discussion provides an in-depth portrait of a marriage in twelfth-century Cairo and of a woman's life–in this instance, a woman struggling to maneuver within the strictures of Jewish law and contemporary Judeo-Arabic society.1 The original Judeo-Arabic of the two responsa under discussion, as well as the Hebrew translations, are, no doubt, well known to Judeo-Arabic, Geniza, and Maimonidean scholars alike, as are the basic details to some English r

Abstract:

This article questions the value of the basic right to marry that was recognised by the Israeli Supreme Court in the early 2000s as part of the basic right to human dignity. Since its early days, Israeli law has developed a tradition that has diminished the significance of formal marriage as a way to bypass the religious-based restrictions on marriage in Israel, with the emphasis instead on the idea of functional joint intimate lives.Against this legal background, the article explores the basic right to marry. It discusses and analyses the Supreme Court cases that have recognised a basic right

Abstract:

Children’s rights were not born in the second half of the 20th century but can be traced back to biblical natural law. Biblical thought reached European legal culture in two ways: directly through the spread of Christianity and indirectly through the Jewish diaspora. Although rabbinic jurisprudence developed as group law, mostly in isolation from its environment, the influence of Christian thinkers helped to define the fundamental rights of the child that appeared centuries later in the children’s rights movement. It is also a fact that the integrative view of the biblical natural law which ca

INTRODUCTION. Israel is a diverse and controversial state. Its laws, especially those of the area of family and marital law, are distinctly unique. The reason being that throughout its centuries-long history Eretz Israel (the Land of Israel) – the historical name of the country, the structure of norms of this branch of law has gone through a set of changes under different political regimens. The government ruling over this holy land at a certain time period was to some extent influencing current social order and the lives of Jewish people, including such aspect as the performance of religious

Abstract:

Parenthood in persons with intellectual disability (ID) is an issue of concern for the family, guardians, and professionals as there are many sentiments and problems involved: financial, technical, medical, legal, and above all moral. People with intellectual, developmental, or other disabilities have feelings, want relationships, and are able to have children also. The attitude of society has changed through time from the early eugenic concern with heredity and fertility, to a focus on the risk to the children due to parental neglect or abuse, to acceptance and a search for solutions to paren

Abstract:

The 1836 Marriage Act has received surprisingly little attention from historians of Dissent, despite its significance in permitting non-Anglicans to conduct legally recognized marriages according to their own ceremonies in Dissenting places of worship. The Clandestine Marriages Act (1753), better known as the Hardwicke Act, had limited valid marriages to the rites of the Church of England. Only Jews and Quakers were exempt. By the early nineteenth century the Anglican marriage service was objectionable to Unitarians because of the references to the Trinity. The struggle to change the Marriage
