We inform you that the engagement took place between Juliet Yusuf Habib Sofer and Ibrahim Ezra Sofer without the presence of
the contract registrar, then the contract was registered on February 26, 702, corresponding to 2/13/1942, and after a period of time
passed, the aforementioned fiancé renewed another engagement with the girl named Bahraja Ezra Yaqub Khay on March 17, 706
corresponding to 2/18/1946, without the Rabbi who performed it being aware of the first engagement.
Custom and the current article prevent the fiancé from performing a second engagement without the consent of the first
fiancée or by permission from the Religious Court.
Accordingly, this court has issued a ruling requiring the aforementioned fiancé
to pay (700) seven hundred Dinars as compensation to the first fiancée if he wishes to divorce her and marry the second
fiancée.
