Prohibition of the use of credit cards, the establishment of an online database with the details and photos of those who refuse to divorce and the restriction of driving a car - a government law memorandum that was distributed last week and its wording reached Walla!
Revealed that the rabbinical courts seek to tighten the restrictions on those who refuse to divorce as part of the pressure that will be exerted on them to change their minds and release their spouses from their anchorage.
In recent years, the courts have used legal and halakhic tools in the campaign against refusal to divorce, including "Darbnu Tam" expulsions, known as shaming on social networks or social expulsions such as adding a refusal to a prayer quorum.
Following this use, there is a significant reduction in the number of those who refuse to get a divorce, but the courts believe that this is not enough.
Last week a government bill was circulated that aims to authorize the courts to use additional tools in this fight.
For example, the courts want to ban those who refuse to divorce from using credit cards.

On the way to tightening sanctions.

One of the restrictions currently set by law is the declaration of a divorcee as a special restricted customer under the Uncovered Checks Act.
The imposition of this sanction prevents the refuser from using checks.
The courts explained that since the law was enacted in 1995, the means of payment in Israel have become more sophisticated and changed, and today only a small portion of transactions use checks, while most purchases are made using credit cards.
As a result, the restriction of checks has lost its effectiveness and has almost no effect on those who refuse to divorce.
A credit card is a commodity that is difficult for many people to manage without, and therefore the courts ask for a ban on its use or issuance.
In addition, under current law, the court may prevent a divorcee from "obtaining, holding or renewing a driver's license."
According to the courts, there have been several allegations of refusals to divorce who were found to be driving despite a restraining order revoking a driver's license, that the prohibition is only to "obtain, hold or renew a driver's license" but was not prohibited by the court's order.
If the Licensing Office, for whatever reason, did not revoke the divorcee's driver's license, the same divorceeers argued, they are not prohibited by law from driving, notwithstanding the restrictions imposed on them.
Therefore, the new bill proposes to make it explicit that the person who refuses a divorce is prohibited from driving a motor vehicle.

The rabbinical courts also seek to prohibit those who refuse a divorce from establishing or participating in corporations, as well as to establish an online database that will contain the details of the refusers and their photos, if it has been decided to publish them.
According to the bill, the courts also seek to enshrine in legislation restrictions that have been available to them to date, such as clearly stipulating that a bank account of a person who refuses a divorce may be frozen in such a way that no action can be taken, including depositing and withdrawing money from the account. "Darbino expulsions are over," which mainly include social expulsions designed to put pressure on the refuser from his immediate environment.
The bill states that its purpose "is to update the main law, by virtue of which restraining orders are imposed due to refusal to divorce, in accordance with the accumulated experience, and to deepen the fight against the phenomenon of refusal."
