Ketuba conflict: wedding film opposite the rabbi

Debate on the number zero appearing in the ketuba of a couple who married a decade ago will soon reach the Beis Din.

The debate is between a couple who married 10 years ago, and is now about to divorce. The husband has discovered to his surprise that the amount written has one zero more than he remembered, and instead of 54,000 shekels, the astronomical sum of 540,000 shekels is recorded. The woman of course requires the higher amount, but the husband insists that he undertook the lower amount.

When the debate broke out between the two, they went to watch the evidence: Wedding video. There they have discovered that the original print photo shows the greater amount. But another part in the film indicates that the groom agreed to a much lower amount.
"There was a lot of noise," said the groom to Channel 2. "I was excited and could not comprehend the number. How can that happen? I do not know."

Rabbi David Abuhatssira from the north, who held and arranged the couple's Kiddushin, insists that the higher is the amount is which the groom has to pay: "I will not close or a sign a ketuba without the consent of the groom and without the consent of his father."

When Rabbi Abuhatssira was asked whether in the past mistakes happened, he replied: "Mistakes happen, and for that we are here to fix them."
