From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the official Jewish courts system in the State of Israel. For the term used to all courts operating in accordance with the Jewish law, see Beth din.
The Rabbinical courts are part of the Israeli legal system, which operates religious courts in parallel to the civil court system. The system, inherited from the previous British mandate system, grants religious courts jurisdiction over personal status matters such as marriage and divorce.[1] Such courts exist for the recognized religious communities in Israel, including Muslim courts, Christian courts, and Jewish Rabbinical courts. These courts adjudicate personal status according to their respective religions, Jewish law in the case of Rabbinical courts.
