Baghdad
Presented to your Excellency:
According to the endowment deed issued by your respected court on 2 / 8 / 1936, file number
110 / 1936 and serial number 131, Sir Elly Kadoorie had endowed the three houses
located in Al-Tawrat in Baghdad, numbered with door numbers 65 / 137, 65a / 137, and 65s / 137
Land Registry serials 458, 4 / 460, and 2 / 460, and stipulated that the guardianship be in the hands of Ibrahim Daoud Nahoum
for the duration of his life, and after him, it shall revert to the Head of the Jewish Community in Baghdad. Since the aforementioned guardian
has traveled outside Iraq and his Iraqi citizenship has been revoked, the guardianship
over the mentioned endowment has become vacant due to the inability of the aforementioned person to exercise the guardianship. Since the revocation of
Iraqi citizenship for the aforementioned person is considered a legal death, the guardianship in such cases passes to his successor
in the guardianship, who is the Head of the Jewish Community in Baghdad. Since I am now the Head of the Jewish
Community in Baghdad in an acting capacity, according to the text of the Ministry of Justice order No. 746 dated
31 / 10 / 1953, I have become the guardian of the mentioned endowments according to the text of the deed referred to
above. Therefore, we request your order to issue a decision considering me the guardian of the endowments of Sir Elly Kadoorie mentioned
above and to issue the necessary deed for that.

According to the Endowment Deed issued by your respected court on 2/8/1936, file number

for the duration of his life, and after him, it reverts to the President of the Jewish Community in Baghdad. Since the aforementioned trustee
has traveled outside Iraq and resided in Israel, and his Iraqi citizenship has been revoked, therefore
the trusteeship over the mentioned endowment has become vacant due to the impossibility of the aforementioned person exercising the trusteeship. Since the matter of
the revocation of Iraqi citizenship from the aforementioned person is considered a legal death, the trusteeship in such cases devolves

With reference to your letter No. 10805 dated 11/12/1956 addressed to us

First - We wish to inform you that we have received from your esteemed court only letter No. 3822
dated 4/15/1956, which we answered with our letter No. T 56/3617 dated
5/23/1956. We had mentioned in our aforementioned letter that the administration of this community has no connection
to the Laura Kadoorie Association intended for liquidation, and it does not possess any records or any funds belonging
to that association. We had mentioned that the house with sequence 508 Torah is an endowment among the endowments
of this community and was endowed by its owner, the Israelite Kadoorie, according to the deed issued by
the Court of Personal Status in Baghdad on 3/17/1932, under sequence number 28 and
file number 20/1932, and it is registered as such in the Land Registry records. The Laura Kadoorie Association
intended for liquidation had no connection to it.
In view of the above, we request your order to reconsider what was stated in your letter referred to above and to write
to the esteemed Ministry of Social Affairs to pay us the rent for the aforementioned house when it is due.
Second - You request us to deposit the amounts resulting from the rent of the property sequence 357 into the
court's fund; please inform us where this property is located. In any case, we reiterate that there was not under
the disposal of our community any movable or immovable property belonging to the Laura Kadoorie Association or in which it has any connection.

to appoint a temporary guardian for the defendant.

His Excellency the Honorable Judge of Personal Status
Baghdad
With reference to your letter numbered outgoing 7430 and file number 300 / Personal / 1957
dated 25 / 6 / 1957.
Since divorce has specific rulings, and the appointment of a temporary guardian to represent an absent person in cases of
divorce is not permissible according to Mosaic Law, we unfortunately cannot legally intervene in
the matter of nomination.
With highest respect to Your Excellency.
Rabbi Sassoon Khedouri
Acting President of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
Baghdad Court of First Instance:
Outgoing Number: ⟦illegible⟧
Date: 7 / 7 / 1957
Case File Number: 10 / Personal / 1957
To the Presidency of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
Your letter numbered T / 3893 / 57 and dated 5 / 7 / 1957
It was stated in your above-mentioned letter that the appointment of a temporary guardian to represent the absent person in divorce cases is not permissible according to Mosaic Law.
Therefore, you cannot intervene in the matter of nomination.
You must agree with us that the court is obliged to consider the lawsuit of the plaintiff wife who is requesting a divorce and to link it
to the judgment... and you agree with us that the person whose Iraqi citizenship has been revoked and who has been deported by the Iraqi authorities
outside of Iraq is prohibited from entering Iraq for the purpose of litigation. Thus, the legal status of the matter necessitates not notifying him
via local newspapers because it is assumed that the court knows he is unable to attend, so how can it be correct to summon him to attend via local newspapers
at a time when attendance is impossible for him and he has an excuse for that, and therefore he cannot be notified.
Since divorce lawsuits for Jews require bringing the two parties together, the court has become obliged to order the appointment of a temporary
guardian to represent the defendant husband in the divorce lawsuit filed against him, and the court is also obliged by the provision of Paragraph 2 of Article 58 of
the Law for the Administration of Minors' Property to take the opinion of the Head of the Community in nominating the guardian proposed for appointment because he is given the right to express an opinion on it,
and this is what prompted the court to consult your presidency on this subject.
Furthermore, we request this court be informed of the method that must be followed in this case in a way that does not violate the religious provisions in
Mosaic Law if it is not permissible to appoint a temporary guardian to act on his behalf. Is it permissible to conduct the investigation with the wife only without bringing
the two parties together and issuing a religious certificate of her divorce or rejecting her request according to what the court deems appropriate as a result of the investigation?
Finally, if we assume that the Jewish communal court had not been abolished and a lawsuit similar to the facts of this case was presented to it, what is the behavior
it would follow regarding it? We request that you inform us of that in a detailed manner.
The Judge
Sadiq Haidar
A copy of it to / -
Presidency of the Baghdad Regional Court of Appeal - The plaintiff Nazima daughter of Ilya filed a lawsuit against the person named Sassoon Yaqub Murad, claiming
that the aforementioned is her husband and had been sentenced to prison and his Iraqi citizenship was revoked
and he was deported outside of Iraq, and since she is still Iraqi, the reason
for which the marriage was established has been prevented and become impossible, therefore she requests
the issuance of a divorce judgment. Since divorce lawsuits for Jews require
bringing the two parties together, and it has been confirmed to the court as a result of the inquiry from the Directorate of Travel and Nationality Police
that the aforementioned defendant had been sentenced to eleven and a half years of hard labor,
then his Iraqi citizenship was revoked and he was deported from Iraq.
Therefore, the court has found that the defendant has become in a state where it is impossible for him
to attend Iraq for litigation and defense in this lawsuit, and consequently there is no benefit
in notifying him via local newspapers and summoning him to attend due to the legal impossibility of his attendance.
Therefore, the court saw fit to appoint a guardian over him to represent him in this lawsuit, and since
Paragraph (2) of Article 58 of the Law for the Administration of Minors' Property gives the right
to express an opinion on the appointment of the guardian to the presidency of the specific community in the matter, therefore the court
requested the Presidency of the Jewish Community to nominate a person to be appointed as a guardian for the defendant
to defend him in this lawsuit.
We request the confirmation of the court in its procedure and the notification of the Presidency of the Community
to nominate the guardian for the purpose of settling the lawsuit.

Divorce between spouses does not take place according to Mosaic Law unless the husband delivers the bill of divorce with his own hand into his wife's hand, or
the bill of divorce is delivered by his agent into the hand of the wife.
Be it known that a wife whose divorce is not completed according to Mosaic Law is not legally permitted to marry another.
