http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3543123,00.html This Hebrew language article tells the divorce story of a woman, who converted into Judaism. The rabbinical court decreed that her conversion is invalid, and that she has no rights in joint property from her now-invalid marriage. The decision was vacated by the superior court (BAGATZ 113/84), which decided that as soon as the woman's conversion was invalidated, the rabbinical court lost any authority to decide in her case. Reminds me of the GPL boobytrap clause, which states that it is the only license one has to use the covered code, therefore if someone causes GPL to be invalidated in court, then that someone is not licensed to use the code in question at all. -- "Kosher" Cellphones (cellphones with blocked SMS, video and Internet) are menace to the deaf.
