Proposed Law: credit cards for gett refusers
MK Betzalel Smotrich (Habayit Hayehudi) has proposed a law that would allow the beis din to limit and prevent someone who has been deemed as refusing to give a gett to his wife from using or getting a credit card.
This would be another level of pressure, of making his life difficult, to persuade him to relent and give the gett and release his wife.
By law a gett refuser is already prevented from using checks, but this limitation has become less useful and less influential than it used to be with the usage of checks on a steady downtrend anyway as people continue to use their credit cards more and more.
The Knesset Legislative Committee has approved the proposal and it will be prepared for passage in Knesset. The Chief Rabbinate and the beis din administration has given its approval to this law proposal.
