Description

Fragment of a legal record in the hand of Ḥalfon b. Menashshe (1100–38 CE). Concerning a family dispute. A woman, Maḥfūẓa from the Ḥātimiyya(?) family, had her inheritance from her father taken by her husband, and domestic strife ensued. In this document, the court orders him not to beat or curse his wife, but rather to honour her and provide her with anything that she was rightfully due. (Information from Goitein's note card and CUDL.)
