We submit to your high presence that the defendant is my husband, I was living with him in the house according to my intention, and a dispute arose between us
And he left me. Afterwards, through the Rabbinate, a reconciliation took place between us and I returned to his house to live with him like all other people

After greetings, this was written based on the lawsuit filed by Maryam daughter of Aaron against Rahmin and Aaron, sons of Isaac. As a result of the trial, their insolvency was proven.
Therefore, the court decided to grant twenty rupees every month to the plaintiff Maryam daughter of Aaron from your community's fund, as she has no legal provider other than these
convicted individuals, Rahmin and Aaron, who are insolvent and unable to be charged with anything, and also it is not possible for her to remain without maintenance. As long as the life and death of a person
without money and the duration of the Mosaic [community] which spends on her from its fund, therefore it is necessary for such disabled persons to be supported by the fund of the Mosaic community which spends on them
until their solvency and the provision of their maintenance. Therefore, this note was written to you to implement its contents, and we thank you in advance.

With reference to your letter numbered 495/7 and dated February 18, 924
We share with Your Excellency the love of compassion for the elderly and the weak who
lose a legal provider, but with all regret, we are unable to provide them with alimony
permanently as we have not been able to do so, even though we exert all our efforts because it
is not hidden from Your Excellency that these elderly and poor people have exceeded thousands of our group
And we had previously established this association with the help of the government under the title
(Night Relief) in order to somewhat help those in need
As for the allocations for this association, they are very limited because they do not exceed thirty
rupees per month from the municipality, along with some aid and gratuities that
are taken from individuals. We would be very grateful for your kindness as there is no
⟦choice⟧ in your capacity as a judge familiar with the conditions of these needy people
who are without a legal provider, to strive ⟦to try⟧ to reach a way
that facilitates giving aid to the aforementioned needy persons, and in response to your decision
we have given Azira daughter of Naoum fifteen rupees as a lump sum
aid from the community fund. February 7, 924

To the Honorable Military Governor of Baghdad, may his glory endure
Plaintiff: Musa bin Badis, resident of Bab al-Agha quarter
Defendant: Na'ima bint Rahmin, resident of the same quarter
Presented to your clarity:
The plaintiff Musa bin Badis and my wife Na'ima bint Rahmin are from the aforementioned quarter. Previously, I was away on a government mission, and when
I returned, I found that my aforementioned wife was not in a state of illness, but rather in a state of obscenity, and it was proven by certified evidence that she committed an obscene act. This is contrary to
Sharia and conscience, and I no longer have any face among people. Since the obscenity was proven against her, she no longer has any right or alimony against me. In this regard,
I came to the judge, and he accepted a decision from me only if I pay her five hundred rupees. I, the petitioner, do not have anything. It is the duty of the judge of
the protected Noble Sharia, and my plea is to refer to your presence, and after that, my petition be transferred to the judge of the Noble Sharia so that I may present my witnesses
before the aforementioned judge and prove [the case], and all things due to her shall be dropped. I hope from the justice of the Great British Government that you transfer my lawsuit to
the judge of the protected Noble Sharia and save me from this injustice. The matter is for the one in command. On January 18, 1921.

Greetings and honors.
To preserve the rights of wives, the spiritual body used to require a guarantee for the outcome of the lawsuit from the husband who attempts
to go absent and travel to other countries, leaving his wife or fiancée without completing the marriage or divorce proceedings and returning
the dowry. Upon refusal to provide the guarantee, the aforementioned body would request detention through the police.
However, the esteemed Ministry of Justice recently revoked this authority from us and promised to enact a law for proceedings in
religious courts. Upon our follow-up and pending the enactment of the said law, His Excellency the Minister informed us orally that
we may approach your respected court regarding necessary and urgent matters and request it to bind the necessary person with a guarantee
for the outcome of the lawsuit and to bring the required party in person to complete the divorce proceedings and other necessary
judicial transactions. Therefore, please present the matter to His Excellency the Minister and provide us with an answer as to whether
your respected court is prepared to consider the mentioned matters so that we may approach it when needed for urgent
matters. May you remain in respect;

During the consideration of a case filed before this court, the counsel for
the defendant argued that the son for whom alimony is requested has not been purified (circumcised) until now -
and since he is a firstborn ( ⟦Dawud⟧ ) and the known redemption ceremonies have not been performed for him, he did not
belong to either spouse and therefore is not entitled to alimony. Accordingly, I request you to inform us about
this as soon as possible, and to your Eminence much thanks and respect.
