We have found written in the marriage contract registry of this court from the year 5687, and this is the text
of the Ketubah of the couple Eliyahu son of Saleh Kalaf and Rachel daughter of Abraham Yosef Levi of our community Baghdad, may God protect it, on Wednesday
the sixteenth day of the month of Adar Rishon, the year five thousand six hundred and eighty-seven from the creation
of the world, according to the count we use here in Baghdad, may God protect it, how the groom Eliyahu son of Saleh Kalaf said to her, this
virgin Rachel daughter of Abraham Yosef Levi: "Be my wife according to the law of Moses and Israel, and I, by the word of Heaven,
will work, honor, nourish, and support you in the manner of Jewish men who work, honor, nourish, and support
their wives in truth; and I give you the dower of your virginity, two hundred silver zuzim, which are due to you by Torah law,
and your food, your clothing, and your necessities, and I will live with you in the way of all the earth." And Ms. Rachel,
this virgin, consented and became his wife. And this is the dowry she brought to him from her father's house, a total sum of
one hundred rupees. And Eliyahu, our groom, consented and added from his own another total of one hundred rupees,
the total being two hundred rupees. And thus said Eliyahu, our groom: "The responsibility for this Ketubah document,
this dowry, and this addition, I take upon myself and my heirs after me, to be paid from all the best
properties and possessions that I have under all the heavens, which I have acquired or which I will acquire,
properties that have security and those that do not have security, all of them shall be responsible and collateral
to pay from them this Ketubah document, this dowry, and this addition, even from the cloak
on my shoulders, during my life and after my death, from this day and forever." And the responsibility for this Ketubah document,
this dowry, and this addition was accepted by Eliyahu, our groom, with the rigor of all Ketubah
documents and additions customary for the daughters of Israel, made according to the regulation of our Sages, of blessed memory, not
as a mere promise and not as a form-letter. And we performed an act of acquisition from Eliyahu, our groom, to Ms. Rachel,
this virgin, regarding all that is written and specified above, with a vessel fit for performing an acquisition.
And everything is valid and established.
