To His Excellency the President of the Jewish Community, the Respected
Presented to your high position
Sir
I, the petitioner below, explain to your high position my poor condition with my wife and I say
that I married the woman named Rachel, daughter of Abraham, fifteen years ago, and today she just kicked me out of the house and left nothing with me
⟦...⟧ wife, and I was at the Sharia Court of the Jewish Community, and the reason for that is that I am a miserable man who owns nothing and I began
visiting this court every day for five years, and my wife takes everything in my pocket of dirhams by force, and beyond that as a result of
⟦...⟧ I visited this court and instead of any benefit being found, the court has no authority to rule to deter men and women and the courts
they clarify the liquidation of this case of mine, and the aforementioned woman was summoned here with effort in the opinion of Mulla Akram and I listened
from this decision she sent me to the hospital so that I would not stay for a period, and after it was decided in the end that I do not have any illness
whatsoever, and the custody of the children is not with anyone, but rather by the effort of the Lord of the Worlds.
Previously, this woman did not give me a residence when I was sick in the hospital for a period of seven months and forty dinars and a house
and also in these days she breaks whatever spirit I had when they see me, the mentioned ⟦woman⟧, to the house and her matter is in the hands of her father and despite
this, she has kicked me out of my house and my home.
Sir: hoping from God and from your high position that you look into this story of mine and it becomes a case for my relief as I do not see the light
I have no power over anything and I do not desire anything to return us to except for my gentle wife and the daughter of Rami, and she is
the wife who denied the Lord of Servants, and I ask you to return us to Him, so I hope you save me from the matter in my hand, I have known
bitterness previously and other than that.
Sir, I have come to you hoping from God first and from your high position second that you accept my case and that if
this is not completed, I hope to refer me to the Government Sharia Court, and the matter is for your Excellency
Baghdad on 15 / 7 / 947
