holds that jurisdiction in divorce
belongs exclusively to the courts
of the nationality Of the parties.
Thus, the French courts have re-
fused an application for divorce
brought before them by Russian
Jewish subjects settled in France,
although the grounds Of divorce
were such as are recognized by
both French and Jewish law, and
although the marriage had been
celebrated in France before the civil
officer. (Cf. Rosenbaum V. Kahn:
Trib. Civil de la Seine; Clunet,
1912, p. 1867. 1t was declared that
submission to the local law for the
celebration of marriage does not in
volve submission for the purpose Of
divorce; and that, as the French
rules of private international law do
not give jurisdiction in divorce to
the courts of the domicile of the
parties, but only to the national
court, the French tribunal was in
competent. The rabbinical authori-
ties in Russia, even had access to
them been possible to the parties,
would have been equally incompe-
tent to give relief, because the mar
rage had not been celebrated ac-
cording to the Jewish law. The
reasoning of the French court would
make the marriage of Jews born in
Russia or Austria, but living in
France, practically indissoluble in
despite alike of the law of the re-
ligious community, the nationality
and the domicile of the parties. This
is an extreme consequence OF the
rule as to exclusive national jurls-
diction in divorce And the legal
complications that arise out OF
Jewish marriages provide an add1-
tional argument to those that may
be derived from mere general caus-
es for adopting generally the rules
of the Hague Convention of l902
upon marriage and divorce, which
confer jurisdiction in divorce upon
the courts of the domicile as we'll as
Of the nationality of the parties.
Wherever one only of the two bases
of Jurisdiction is admitted, cases of
individual hardship and injustice are
bound to occur
In Austria, where Jews enjoy
their own law of divorce, their mar
riages may cause different kind of
difficulty. Intermarriage between
persons of different creeds is forbid
den under pain of nullity; and a
marriage contracted abroad by an
Austrian of the Jewish faith with

hardship in the present condition of
substantive English law and Of the
rules of English private, internation-
al law is that no regard is paid to
the Jewish law of divorce in relation
to Jewish marriages. Jews and Jew
esses, wherever married and under
whatever system of law, cannot OBJ
tain valid dissolution of their un-
ion if they are domiciled in England,
unless the Divorce Court grants a
decree in accordance with the sta
tute of 1857. Now that law is motor
iously very restricted in the grounds
for divorce which it admits, where
as the Jewish law, developed as it
is by the rabbis from the Mosaic
prescription, which gave the hus-
band an almost unrestricted power
of divorcing the wife, is extremely
liberal. In addition to the grounds
adopted by most modern states, the
Jewish law recognizes mutual in
compatibility or childlessness after a
certain number of years as good
grounds for freeing the parties to
marriage. 1t is interesting to note,
by the way, that Milton, who had
reason to dislike the English OBJ
stacles to divorce, proposed that the
Jewish law should be introduced
into England, as making more truly
for the well-being of the community
than the rigid English system. And
in the period when divorce in Eng
land could only be obtained by Act
of Parliament, the validity of rab
binical decree of dissolution Of
marriage between persons of the
Jewish faith was occasionally as
sumed. But today it is certain that
a decree pronounced by rabbinical
authority has no legal validity here,
even when the parties were mar
ried under a legal system, such as
the Russian or Austrian, which en-
trusts questions OF divorce exclusive
1y to the religious law. Thus, in
case where a Jewish marriage was
celebrated at Riga and the husband
brought his wife to England and ac-
CURED a domicile there, and having
afterwards obtained abroad a rabbin-
ical divorce, he then went through
the form of marriage with another
woman in Scotland, it was held that
this second relationship was bigam-
Gus and afforded a ground for dis
solving the first tie. (Friedberg V.
Friedberg, 1908.) In that case no
hardship was done, but there are
many cases where the impossibility

Jewish Law In international jurisprudence

Bv Prof. Norman Bentwich

Of obtaining a valid divorce in Eng
land according to the law under
which the parties married has very
harsh consequences. A Russian or
Austrian Jewess may be brought to
England by her husband, who, per-
haps, then leaves her and goes off to
America By both Russian and Jew
ish law she would be entitled to OBJ
tain divorce from rabbi, who is
a doctor of the Rabbinical law in
vested with certain legal functions;
but English law would hold decree
given by him to be invalid. Insist
ing that it is only the country of the
matrimonial domicile which can
grant a divorce, it would require the
injured woman to return to Russia
or move on to America to obtain her
freedom, which almost invariably
she is unable to do. Cases have been
known in which Russian rabbis, set
tied in England, have granted di-
vorce in such circumstances in ig
norance of the English law, and the
divorce has been followed by sec
ond marriage according to Jewish
law. But a recommendation of the
recent Divorce Commission proposes
to visit such action with criminal
penalties. 1t is submitted that it
would be more equitable to accord
to responsible Jewish authority in
England the right of granting di-
vorce in accordance with Jewish law
to persons married according to that
law, which divorce would be con-
hrmed by decree of the Court.
The policy of preserving uni
form divorce law for all persons
domiciled in England is to-day,
when the nation includes persons Of
every variety Of creed and no creed,
altogether in accord with the funda
mental principle of religious liberty.
An exception might we'll be made to
the principle in view of the peculiar
position of the Jewish people, as
has been done by the legislature in
regard to the forms of marriage.
In Other European Countries.
In other European countries
which have preserved a partial reg
ulation Of the personal status by the
religious law, notably Russia and
Austria, the divorcing Of persons
married under the Jewish law is in
the hands of the rabbinical authori
ties; but this privilege may itself
give rise to hardship when the mat
rimonial donicile has been changed
to country which does not pay any
