A statistical biannual report about women and family law in Israel, published by the Ruth and Emanuel Rackman Center within Bar-Ilan University’s Faculty of Law.
The purpose of this report is to gather data from Israel’s family courts on various aspects of women and family law, especially in the area of divorce, which is one of the most significant areas of law for women in Israel. This publication presents statistical data concerning legal proceedings in family matters over the past 5 years. Women’s marital status is still a key factor, if not the main factor, in shaping women’s financial status. The institution of the family in its various aspects affects the reality of women’s lives more than any other social institution. Hence it is important to monitor and present data from Israel’s family courts in a comprehensive way that is accessible to all.
