His Excellency the Honorable Minister of Justice
Subject: Summoning the Rabbi of Kirkuk
It is not hidden from Your Excellency that the case of Jahla daughter of Baruch, which has been under discussion, has not resulted
in a decisive outcome until today due to the contradictions occurring regarding this matter.
It was stated in the letter received from the Rabbi of Kirkuk dated 18 September that Jahla daughter of
Baruch has been divorced, despite the fact that previous correspondence regarding this matter did not mention, by the
aforementioned Rabbi, any word indicating the said divorce. This is from one side, and from the other side,
it was stated in the minutes signed by the elders of the Israelite community of Kirkuk dated 23 October
928 that the aforementioned Jahla daughter of Baruch is not divorced, a matter which was confessed
before the Rabbi of Kirkuk himself.
Based on what we have mentioned, it has become necessary for the aforementioned Rabbi to come to Baghdad -
to investigate him in this case, and since the aforementioned did not ⟦respond⟧ to attend, we request by this that -
you mediate in summoning him.
With great respect to Your Excellency,

His Excellency the Respected Minister of Justice Subject: Regarding the case of Jahla bint Baruch
Subject: Summoning the Rabbi of Kirkuk
Further to our communication to you in your letter No. 587 dated 14 January 29 to the court
from the Spiritual Court, a copy of which was sent to this department, and based on the court's inquiry
from the Jewish Spiritual Court to the Rabbi of Kirkuk on 18 September that Jahla bint
Baruch has The aforementioned Jahla visited the court on 16 February 28 and presented the letter
of the marriage dowry, claiming what she deserved from the inheritance of her deceased husband, and since it became problematic
for the judge of the court that the deceased husband had divorced his wife Jahla before his death for a period
The first is her presentation of her marriage contract. The mentioned inheritance is not sufficient evidence to prove she was not divorced
before from her husband because it may happen that a woman claims upon her divorce that her marriage contract
is lost, so she takes the oath by legal religious duty and waives accordingly what she is entitled to
as a woman from the dowry right established in the mentioned contract, then she recovers the dowry according to this that -
Accordingly, the court saw no alternative but to inquire from the Rabbi of Kirkuk as to whether
the divorce had actually occurred before the death or if that was merely a rumor with no truth to it
and we regret that we did not receive a response at the time from the mentioned Rabbi despite
the repetition of this inquiry.
Finally, a response came to us from the aforementioned Rabbi informing us that Jahla bint
Baruch had been divorced from her deceased husband Nahum Moshe Kirkukli.

We had requested in our letters dated 8 August 928 and number 1882 to inform us about the case of Jahla
wife of the deceased Nahum Moshe Kirkukli, as to whether she was divorced or not divorced from her husband
the late Nahum. Despite subsequent follow-ups dated 9 October 928 and 10 December
928 and numbered 2382 and 2986 to our previous notices, no answer has arrived until now
neither negative nor positive. Since the case is extremely simple and does not require a long time to answer
and since duty requires all departments and spiritual heads to exert what is in their power
to provide the information and answers required by the courts to facilitate the interests of the people and distribute
justice among them, the delay in providing the required answer for all this time has caused
a delay in viewing and deciding the lawsuit. Therefore, we hope to provide the answer as quickly as possible and inform us
about the late Jahla, whether she is divorced or not divorced from her deceased husband Nahum without the need
for another follow-up.
