Question
Is it permissible to live with a wife when they only have a copy of the Ketubah, and not the original?
Answer
A copy of the Ketubah is not considered a Ketubah and is not valid. Therefore, a new Ketubah should be written, and in the meantime, an amount equivalent to 200 zuz should be designated for her and given to her.
