Rabbinical Court Orders Prisoner to Grant Divorce

A rabbinical court in Jerusalem has ordered a man imprisoned for sexual offenses against minors to grant his wife a divorce.

The court ruled that his imprisonment justified compelling him to divorce, rejecting his defense arguments. If the divorce is not finalized at a scheduled hearing, his prison conditions may be worsened.
