No. Number: 538
Date: 1/26/934
His Eminence Rabbi Sassoon Khedhouri, President of the Jewish Community in Baghdad
With reference to the petition of the woman named Farha Eliyahu Qahtan Nabiha, that the person named Yusuf Salman
Mu'allim has filed a lawsuit against his wife in our court requesting her obedience to him. On the day of the hearing,
the defendant appeared accompanied by her brother, the named Samon Qattan, in his capacity as her agent. For the
compelling reasons held by the court, it refused to accept the aforementioned person in the proceedings and requested the
defendant to appoint someone else. However, the aforementioned Samon was overcome with anger and uttered inappropriate words toward
the court, then took the defendant and left the court. The Religious Court continued to hear
the case according to the procedures and informed the aforementioned woman that if she does not obey her husband, she will be considered recalcitrant.

The Honorable Ministry of Justice
Baghdad
With reference to your letter No. A / 4 / 307 / 944 dated September 4,
944
The Jewish Religious Court in Baghdad has informed us that the reason for the delay
of the lawsuit referred to in your above letter until the Hebrew month of Cheshvan is that
the aforementioned court has become accustomed, in view of the arrival of the Jewish holiday season in
the Hebrew month of Tishrei, to making the aforementioned month a holiday during which the court devotes itself to organizing
its records and for the rest of its judges. Therefore, all lawsuits that are not resolved
before the aforementioned month have their hearings postponed until the month of Cheshvan, which follows the month of
Tishrei.

Reference to your letter numbered A/195/44 dated 11 May 944
to the Jewish Religious Court in Baghdad regarding the petition of the applicant
Gurji Shaul Abdul Nabi.
The Religious Court has responded to the applicant's statements that the lawsuit of disobedience
which was filed before the court years ago did not acquire a final form at the time
because the wife, while not denying her disobedience, demanded a divorce from the husband
and in such a case, the court may not issue a judgment of disobedience, but rather should
assign the husband to divorce, and so it did, but the husband refused to carry out the divorce
and the lawsuit has remained pending since then. Therefore, it is not correct to say that
the wife was disobedient such that she is not allowed to request reconciliation.

A broad petition from Sabiha daughter of Hakouli
His Excellency the Honorable Minister of Justice
O Minister of Justice, until when... until when shall we remain under the injustice of the Israeli Religious Court. Until
when shall we be offered on its table as a sacrifice for its lusts and for what its uncultured conscience dictates. Until when shall we be slaughtered from
vein to vein and stagger from the throes of death before it, while its heart dances with joy at the sight of a new skull atop the piles
of skulls stacked in the warehouses of its guillotines, triumphant and cheering as it commits the most horrific human crimes in broad daylight, not at night
nor in the evening. There is no responsibility in its stable, and it is protected by our weakness, our emaciation, and our hoarse voice. Are we not in the twentieth century?
Is there not a constitution in the country and what branches out from it?
I seek refuge in you, O Minister of Justice... O upholder of the scale of justice in the country... Heaven forbid, and again heaven forbid... heaven forbid
that you let Rabbi... Salman and his gang, who have become like those who hold a title deed to judgment, press
the button of the guillotine prepared for my neck after they set it up for me. I implore you by the Just God, do not let them, no. For I am
a weak girl, forced by the social circumstances of our community due to my poverty to collect my dowry with a needle for years... and years.
I took hundreds, nay, hundreds of thousands of stitches with my needle throughout endless nights and days... and weariness
to support myself and collect my dowry. My only consolation was that I would get married and my husband would relieve me... and when the time came, I became engaged
to Shaul Haroun Muzayyin, but my bad luck insisted on accompanying me and I was overlooked (in a deal that was a losing one).
And as I used to hear and see many of the horrors of the Religious Court, I remained afraid to approach it, and after
two and a half years, I saw that there was no escape from it. After much ado and trials, it was decided according to religion to grant
my fiancé a final grace period to prepare the religious requirements for marriage, which mandate alimony. After the grace period expired,
he did not do anything.
However, the court (and the matter is within Jacob's soul...) did nothing but recant its legal decision
and threw it against the wall in violation of religion, and sent me and it to an illegal committee whose head is a person ⟦famous⟧ for being declared
legally bankrupt and has not recovered his rights, called (Okhai Shalim), like one of its nets. This committee decided
not to hear my case now, and the court, following this decision, decided in turn not to hear my case until the month of
Cheshvan, meaning that I remain suspended between heaven and earth, and I refuse to continue sewing, which I can no longer bear
due to the weakening of my eyes, for an unknown period.
So what are these games and falsehoods, and until when will they crush the rights of the weak with a crushing that has no leniency?
I seek refuge in Your Excellency, O Minister of Justice, and I take shelter, praying to God Almighty to grant you victory and extend your life. Amen.

Your High Eminence
I, the undersigned, Isaac son of Abraham Sassoon
Have already submitted before your Eminence on the day of 11 Tishrei the year 5671 corresponding to the day 14/10/1910
A request to summon my wife Hannah daughter of Joseph Sassoon - known as Hannah - to trial and judgment
To compel her to return to my home and fulfill her duties toward me as a husband.
1 - My aforementioned wife left my home on the day of 10 Tishrei aforementioned without any justified reason and has not returned
Until today despite all the efforts I made to bring her back. She took with her all her clothes and also
Items belonging to me such as silverware and copperware and also a sum of cash.
2 - My aforementioned wife claims that she does not want to return to my home because she suffers from my behavior
Badly toward her and that she is afraid of me. I deny all these claims entirely. I always
Behaved toward her with respect and fairness as testified by all the neighbors and our acquaintances. On the day of 13 Tishrei
I invited her again to return to my home through honorable people from the community but she refused.
Therefore I request from your honor to summon her to trial on the day ⟦...⟧ at the hour ⟦...⟧ and to rule
Between us according to the law and judgment (as written in the Holy Torah) and to obligate her to return to my home and fulfill
Her duties toward me. On the day 12/10/1910 I sent her an official letter through a lawyer in which I demanded
From her to return to my home within 48 hours but she did not answer. I am ready to bring witnesses who will testify
To the truth of my words and to my good behavior toward her and to the fact that she left the house without
Any justified reason. I hope that the court will do justice and judgment and obligate her to return to my home.
And if she refuses I request from your honor to rule for me maintenance from her for our small children -

The Honorable Ministry of Justice
Baghdad
Reference to the petition numbered 11471 and dated 5 / 10 / 944 addressed to your
honorable Ministry by Marcelle Heskel Shahrabani.
The Jewish Religious Court in Baghdad has replied as follows:-
1) Jewish law permits the fiancé to annul the engagement without compensation, if there appears in the fiancée
one of the legal defects. The occurrence of a previous divorce for the fiancée is considered a legal defect.
2) The court had repeatedly given the fiancée time to enable her to prove her claim that the fiancé knew
of the annulment of the previous engagement. In the court session held on 4 / 9 / 944, the fiancée
had been given a final extension to prove her claim and the case was adjourned to 14 September 944, however
the fiancée did not attend the court on the appointed day of the hearing. Her attorney attended and presented a medical report
that did not meet the legal requirements, dated 13 / 9 / 944, stating the fiancée's illness. Since
the fiancée could have prepared the names of her witnesses before the day of the hearing, and her illness occurring one day
before the trial is not considered a legal excuse for postponement, the court decided to consider her unable to prove
her claim and ruled for her divorce without compensation according to the provisions of Jewish law.

Based on your above decree dated 10 / 1 / 944
Which includes that the wife Hannah daughter of Yusuf Salman has filed a lawsuit against her husband
Ezra son of Isaac Ezekiel in the aforementioned Sharia Court requesting separation
And as a result of the proceedings, the aforementioned court issued on 13 / 6 / 944 a judgment for
separation and obligating the husband to pay alimony.
And the aforementioned husband appealed this judgment on 15 / 6 / 944
And after conducting the proceedings in this court and examining the papers related to this
lawsuit, the court found that the judgment issued by the Sharia Court is a judgment
not in accordance with the Sharia because the husband objected to the aforementioned judgment on 7 / 7 / 944
And it has become clear to the court that the husband has admitted that the wife is pregnant and it was issued
by the aforementioned Sharia Court in its aforementioned judgment that the wife is pregnant
Therefore, the court decided to annul the aforementioned judgment and return the lawsuit
to the court.
