Mistake in Writing a Ketubah

Question

In the ketubah of a woman who has two names and a nickname that everyone uses, the names were written in sequence without indicating that the nickname is not her name. What should be done?

Answer

Shalom Rav

This is considered a mistake in the ketubah, and a ketubah in which an error is found must be written.

You can obtain the text at the secretariat of Beit HaHora'ah of our teacher, Rabbi Fried.
