JERUSALEM — Rabbis ordered a straying husband to deposit $3,250 with the Ministry of Religion today to discourage extramarital affairs, a newspaper reported.
The daily Yedioth Ahronoth said a mother of six asked Beer Sheva’s rabbinical court to stop her husband from living with his young mistress.
The rabbinical court, which deals with marriage, death, birth and divorce, ordered the husband to deposit the money with the ministry. The cash will be awarded to the wife if she proves her husband has continued relations with other women, the newspaper said.
