Question
Is it permissible or is there such a thing for a woman to sue her husband in a rabbinical court because she is emotionally affected by him? She is desperate from going to counselors and trying to make her husband want to go regularly.
Answer
Hello,
A rabbinical court deals with halachic claims, and this is not the case here.
You should approach a rabbi or another authority to whom the husband is subordinate, to demand that the husband go for counseling.
[In the case of a divorce claim, the court will recommend peace in the home, but it is not correct to file for divorce if the intention is only to force him to go for counseling].
