Question
Hello, My wife resigned from her job due to worsening conditions, and the employer does not want to pay compensation. Additionally, he owes her more money and is unwilling to pay. Can we sue him in court? It should be noted that he is completely secular and there is no chance he will recognize a rabbinical court as a binding authority. And even if it is forbidden, what should we do? Also, is it permissible to send him a warning letter from a lawyer to pressure him into reaching an agreement?
Answer
Hello,
You should send him one letter inviting him to a hearing in a rabbinical court, and if he does not come, the rabbinical court will permit you to go to a civil court.
You can contact the rabbinical consultation line at 0733260800, extension 12, regarding this matter.
It is permissible to send a letter to apply pressure, but do not mention a lawsuit in civil court, only 'bringing to judgment'.
