rabbinical divorce

Read a random definition: spoiled ballot

A quick definition of rabbinical divorce:

Rabbinical divorce is a type of divorce that is granted under the authority of a rabbi. It affects the relationship of the parties under the tenets of Judaism and particularly affects a Jewish woman's ability to remarry in accordance with Judaic law. It is not generally a divorce recognized in civil courts in the United States.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A divorce granted under the authority of a rabbi. This type of divorce affects the relationship of the parties under the tenets of Judaism. It affects particularly a Jewish woman's ability to remarry in accordance with Judaic law. In the United States, it is not generally a divorce recognized in civil courts.

Example: Rachel and David are a Jewish couple who want to get a divorce. They go to a rabbi who grants them a rabbinical divorce, or "get," which allows them to end their marriage under Jewish law. However, this divorce is not recognized in civil courts, so they will still need to go through the legal process of obtaining a civil divorce if they want to dissolve their marriage in the eyes of the law.

Explanation: This example illustrates how a rabbinical divorce is a type of divorce that is recognized under Jewish law but not necessarily under civil law. It shows how a couple can obtain a rabbinical divorce to end their marriage under Jewish law, but they may still need to go through the legal process of obtaining a civil divorce if they want to dissolve their marriage in the eyes of the law.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
