Case: HCJ 784/15 A.E.S v. Jerusalem District Rabbinic Court
Date
Read decision
In 2015, the rabbinic courts denied visitation to a mother because she was no longer religious. The social worker involved in the case insisted that the mother should have visitation rights, and that it was in the best interest of the children to see their mother.
In 2015, CWJ petitioned the Supreme Court to declare that rabbinic courts had no authority to make a determination regarding visitation that was not in the best interests of the child.
In 2015, the High Rabbinic Court reversed its decision, agreeing to allow the mother to visit with her children and rendering the petition to the Supreme Court moot.
