Katuba u židovskom pravu (כתובה)

Autor u tekstu obrađuje katubu, drevni dokument židovskog prava kojim se reguliraju prava i obveze bračnih drugova, a koji između ostalog sadrži i odredbe o prestanku braka i muževljevoj obvezi da ispuni određene financijske obveze koji proizlaze iz njegove odluke da napusti ženu. U tekstu su objašnjene židovske denominacije, te njihov različiti pristup katubi. Neki ju smatraju formalnim i proznim tekstom dok je za mnoge Židove i to prvenstveno one ortodoksne ona prvorazredan pravni dokument. Katuba može pod određenim uvjetima biti i dio civilnog prava i to u onim pravnim sustavima koji vjerskom pravu priznaju regulaciju statusnih odnosa državljana, dok je u Izraelu ona posebno bitan pravni dokument, obzirom da je obiteljsko pravo u Izraelu u nadležnosti Rabinskog suda ortodoksne vjerske zajednice. Katuba je tada poveznica između dva pravna svijeta: vjerskog i sekularnog.In this text author examines katubah, ancient document of Jewish (Rabbinical) Law which regulates rights and obligations of Jewish husband and wife. That document contains provisions on the termination of marriage and in that respect focuses on the husband\u27s obligation to compensate his deserted wife. Trough paragraph of the text author describes Jewish denominations and their distinctive approach to this issue. For many Jews it is just formal and literal text, but for many of them it is legal document, specially for the members of Orthodox Jewish community. Author shows that katubah, can be also part of the civil legal systems: in those legal environments which give regulatory powers to religious laws. In Israel, katuba is important part of Matrimonial Law since family courts are run by orthodox rabis who recognize katubah as binding contractual document. Katuba therefore may be connection between two legal worlds-religious and civil
