However, according to Haaretz, the divorce agreement signed last year between the two said: “at the husband’s request, the woman will not submit any complaint to the police on past events.”
Ms Kahana-Dror said any condition required for granting a get - be it the woman's agreement not to sue or transferring the case to a rabbinical court from the civil family court - is illegal extortion and is unrelated to the divorce.
Although a get was granted, differences over alimony and custody rights for the two children have yet to be settled.
A statement from the rabbinical courts administration said the woman had legal representation during the divorce proceedings and did not present any evidence supporting claims of rape or violence.
The case was “raised from the dead” after Mavoi Staum began to represent the woman, the courts said.
