The plaintiff, Khatoun Saleh Shirazi, approached the Jewish Religious Court in Baghdad and claimed
that her husband, Ibrahim Ephraim, also known as Ibrahim Ismail, owes her an amount of five
and ninety-two and a half dinars arising from her dowry documented in her marriage contract. Since her
aforementioned husband has an amount of seventy dinars deposited with Gurji Sion Sheena and Eliyahu Abboudi Shmeis,
she requested a provisional attachment be placed on it and a judgment in her favor for it to be counted toward her aforementioned dowry.
The court decided to place the aforementioned provisional attachment on April 13, 939, and it was executed through
the Baghdad Execution Department. After the proceedings and verification of the marriage contract, the court decided to rule for the plaintiff for the
aforementioned amount of seventy dinars to be counted toward her dowry and to confirm the provisional attachment placed
on the money deposited with the aforementioned Gurji and Eliyahu. This decision was issued in absentia.
