File Number

The Appellant - Lulu daughter of Ezra Ishaq Salih, wife of the deceased Eliyahu
Baruch Yehuda Shua.
The Appellee - Zion Baruch Yehuda Shua.
Based on the petition submitted to the Jurisdiction Determination Committee by Lulu daughter of Ezra Ishaq Salih
on July 27, 1936, which included her request to determine the jurisdiction of the following three issues that
the Communal Council interfered with during its consideration of the dowry lawsuit, which are:-
First - Considering inheritance rights.
Second - Considering legal interest.
Third - Considering the amount permitted by the petitioning wife under the agreement concluded
between the heirs of the deceased and his partners. The Jurisdiction Determination Committee met, consisting of the Vice President of the Court of Cassation
Daoud Samra, and the member of the aforementioned court Hassan Ridha, and Rabbi Salman Hoki Aboudi -
President of the Israeli Religious Court. After bringing the two case files from the Israeli Communal Council
and from the Personal Status Court in Baghdad and examining them, it became clear:-
That the lawsuit filed by the petitioner Lulu in the Communal Council is a dowry lawsuit.
The representative of the community explained before this committee that if the wife demands her dowry, her right
to claim inheritance rights and what she owns of movable and immovable property and items she brought from
her father's house upon her marriage and what her husband gifted her during his lifetime falls away. For this reason, the ruling -
regarding the dowry depends on depriving her of claiming the inheritance share that passes to her from her husband
and deducting the value of those properties and items from the amount of her dowry. In this regard, the committee considers that it is
the right of the Communal Council, when / issuing its ruling on the dowry, to decide to deprive the wife of her inheritance
share transferred to her from her husband.
And when considering the second case related to legal interest, it was found that the requested interest

It pertains to the amount of the dowry, and since the jurisdiction over the dowry lawsuit belongs to the Council of
the community, the jurisdiction over the lawsuit for the interest branching from it also belongs to the aforementioned Council.
Ruling on it or not ruling on it according to the Israeli law is a matter that belongs to it.
And when looking at the third case resulting from the contract concluded between the heirs, including
the petitioner, and the partners of the deceased, the majority of the committee considers that since the wife petitioning
for the dowry has no right to receive anything from the inheritance rights, and everything she received or
waived her right to must be deducted from the amount of the dowry, then the claim in such matters constitutes a defense
to the original dowry lawsuit. And since jurisdiction over the dowry lawsuit belongs to the community council,
jurisdiction over the matter of the defense also belongs to the aforementioned council. Therefore, it was decided so and a copy
of this decision shall be deposited with both the Israeli Community Council and the Court of Personal Status in Baghdad to act
accordingly. The decision was issued on September 27, 1936 and 11 Rajab, 1355.

Appellant: Lulu bint Ezra Ishaq Saleh, wife of the deceased Eliyahu Barukh Yehuda Shua
Appellee: Sion Barukh Yehuda Shua.
Based on the petition submitted to the Jurisdiction Designation Committee by Lulu bint Ezra Ishaq Saleh
on July 27, 1936, containing her request to designate the jurisdiction for the following three issues in which
the Communal Council intervened during its consideration of the dowry lawsuit, namely:
First - Considering the inheritance rights
Second - Considering the legal interest
Third - Considering the amount waived by the petitioning wife according to the agreement concluded between
the heirs of the deceased and his partners. The Jurisdiction Designation Committee met, consisting of the Vice President of the Court of Cassation Dawood Samra,
the member of the aforementioned court Hassan Ridha, and Rabbi Salman Huqi Aboudi - President of the Jewish
Religious Court. After summoning the two case files from the Jewish Communal Council and from the Personal
Status Court in Baghdad and auditing them, it became clear:
That the lawsuit filed by the petitioner Lulu in the Communal Council is a dowry lawsuit, and
the representative of the community explained before the committee that if the wife demands her dowry, her right to claim inheritance rights
and her ownership of movable and immovable property and items she brought from her father's house upon her marriage
and what her husband gave her during his lifetime is forfeited. Therefore, the judgment on the dowry depends on depriving her
of claiming the inheritance share that passes to her from her husband and deducting the value of those assets and items from
the amount of her dowry. In this regard, the committee ⟦considers⟧ that the Communal Council has the right, when issuing the judgment
on the dowry, to decide to deprive the wife of her inheritance share passing to her from her husband.
When considering the second issue related to legal interest, it was found that the requested interest pertains to the amount
of the dowry. Since the consideration of the dowry lawsuit is within the jurisdiction of the Communal Council, the consideration of the
interest lawsuit branched from it is also within the jurisdiction of the said council, so judging it or not judging it
according to Jewish law is a matter that belongs to it.
When considering the third issue resulting from the agreement concluded between the heirs, including the petitioner,
and the partners of the deceased, the majority of the committee considers that since the wife petitioning for the dowry has no right
to collect anything from the inheritance rights, and it is required to deduct whatever she received or waived her right to from the dowry amount,
then the claim in such disputes serves as a defense against the original dowry lawsuit. Since the consideration of the dowry lawsuit
belongs to the Communal Council, the consideration of the defense matter also belongs to the said council. Accordingly, it was so decided,
and a copy of this decision is to be deposited with both the Jewish Communal Council and the Personal Status Court
in Baghdad to act accordingly. The decision was issued on September 27, 1936, and Rajab 11, 1355.
