Description

Beginning of a responsum in Judaeo-Arabic, calligraphically written. About the definition of "moredet" ("rebellious (wife)"); this authority says that it refers only to a woman who refuses to sleep with her husband, not other kinds of 'rebelliousness.' Also mentions the consequences for the return of the dowry. (Information from Goitein's index card.)
