CWJ convinces Family Court to award a CWJ client damages for get refusal, and repayment of money that she had paid to husband in exchange for get (600,000 NIS + $15,000).
Family Court declares void clauses in a divorce agreement, authorized by the Rabbinic Court, in which a mother waived her parental rights in exchange for her get.
The Supreme Court rules on CWJ’s 2006 petition to stop Rabbinic Courts from using taxpayer money (“agunah fund”) to pay recalcitrant husbands in exchange for agreeing to divorce their wives; and to stop the National Insurance Institute from waiving debts of recalcitrant husbands for the same purpose. The judgment ordered the establishment of a special oversight committee to greatly curtail this problematic practice, even though it rejected CWJ’s petition.
CWJ introduces Savta Bikorta, five YouTube clips which describe the abuses that occur in Rabbinic Courts.
