Neeman bids to empower rabbinic courts
18.05.2009
Knesset Law Committee chairman David Rotem on Monday blasted Justice Minister Yaakov Neeman's proposal to let rabbinic courts rule on matters relating to money and children in divorce cases.
Rotem called the suggestion a violation of the status quo and said it would harm an entire sector of women and children.
Rotem told Israel Radio he would tell Neeman that his plan was contrary to coalition agreements, which stipulated that the status quo on matters of religion and state would be preserved.
Professor Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, head of Bar-Ilan's Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women and Israel's representative on the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), told the radio station that the minister was trying to strike a fatal blow to the rights of women and children.
