Plaintiff: Jahla Manshi Nahum Salawi
Defendant: Salim Yaqub Tatiya
Jahla daughter of Manshi Nahum Salawi approached the Israeli Spiritual Court
and claimed that her husband, named Salim Yaqub Tatiya, is refusing to house her and provide
for her. When the Spiritual Court looked into the aforementioned claim, it found her
to be in the right and that there is no legal reason that grants the husband the right to refuse to house her.
Therefore, after verifying his earnings, a monthly alimony of
fifteen rupees was imposed on Salim Yaqub Tatiya, to be received by the wife starting from October 18, 1928.
This judgment in absentia has been issued as a notification.
