The Ministerial Committee on Legislation decided Monday to support a bill extending the authorities of rabbinical courts over all matters regarding marriage and divorce Ynet reports. If this bill passes its Knesset readings, it would serve to upgrade the rabbinical courts’ judicial authority over seemingly civil matters, such as property settlements; and would allow them to issue subpoenas and warrants – just like the civil courts.
The Justice Ministry further said that the bill presents a radical change in the rabbinical courts’ authority, by giving them rule over issues which have nothing to do with their original mission.
