Rabbinical Court Overturns Divorce Agreement After Couple Found to Be Living Together

A rabbinical court in central Israel has canceled a 2016 divorce agreement, ruling the couple continued to live as a married unit for eight years, suggesting the agreement was intended to hide assets from creditors. The court cited the couple's shared finances, continued cohabitation, and the wife's use of her own funds to pay the husband's pre-marital debts as evidence. The husband's lawyer successfully argued the agreement was a sham, while the wife claimed it was valid. The ruling emphasizes that continued marital life can invalidate divorce agreements.
